PINException represents a OwnerPIN class or OwnerPINx -implementing class access-related exception.
The OwnerPIN class and OwnerPINx-implementing class throws Java Card runtime environment-owned instances of PINException.
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.
