public class SystemException
extends CardRuntimeException

SystemException represents a JCSystem class related exception. It is also thrown by the javacard.framework.Applet.register() methods and by the AID class constructor.

These API classes throw Java Card runtime environment-owned instances of SystemException.

Java Card runtime environment-owned instances of exception classes are temporary Java Card runtime environment Entry Point Objects and can be accessed from any applet context. References to these temporary objects cannot be stored in class variables or instance variables or array components. See Runtime Environment Specification, Java Card Platform, Classic Edition, section 6.2.1 for details.

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
static short	ILLEGAL_AID This reason code is used by the javacard.framework.Applet.register() method to indicate that the input AID parameter is not a legal AID value.
static short	ILLEGAL_TRANSIENT This reason code is used to indicate that the request to create a transient object is not allowed in the current applet context.
static short	ILLEGAL_USE This reason code is used to indicate that the requested function is not allowed.
static short	ILLEGAL_VALUE This reason code is used to indicate that one or more input parameters is out of allowed bounds.
static short	NO_RESOURCE This reason code is used to indicate that there is insufficient resource in the Card for the request.
static short	NO_TRANSIENT_SPACE This reason code is used by the makeTransient..() methods to indicate that no room is available in volatile memory for the requested object.

Field Detail

ILLEGAL_VALUE

public static final short ILLEGAL_VALUE

This reason code is used to indicate that one or more input parameters is out of allowed bounds.

Constant Field Values

NO_TRANSIENT_SPACE

public static final short NO_TRANSIENT_SPACE

This reason code is used by the makeTransient..() methods to indicate that no room is available in volatile memory for the requested object.

Constant Field Values

ILLEGAL_TRANSIENT

public static final short ILLEGAL_TRANSIENT

This reason code is used to indicate that the request to create a transient object is not allowed in the current applet context. See Runtime Environment Specification, Java Card Platform, Classic Edition, section 6.2.1 for details.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

ILLEGAL_AID

public static final short ILLEGAL_AID

This reason code is used by the javacard.framework.Applet.register() method to indicate that the input AID parameter is not a legal AID value.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

NO_RESOURCE

public static final short NO_RESOURCE

This reason code is used to indicate that there is insufficient resource in the Card for the request.

For example, the Java Card Virtual Machine may throw this exception reason when there is insufficient heap space to create a new instance.

Constant Field Values

ILLEGAL_USE

public static final short ILLEGAL_USE

This reason code is used to indicate that the requested function is not allowed. For example, JCSystem.requestObjectDeletion() method throws this exception if the object deletion mechanism is not implemented.
