    • Method Detail

      • getATR

        public abstract ATR getATR()
        Returns the ATR of this card.
        Returns:
        the ATR of this card.

      • getProtocol

        public abstract String getProtocol()
        Returns the protocol in use for this card.
        Returns:
        the protocol in use for this card, for example "T=0" or "T=1"

      • getBasicChannel

        public abstract CardChannel getBasicChannel()
        Returns the CardChannel for the basic logical channel. The basic logical channel has a channel number of 0.
        Throws:
        SecurityException - if a SecurityManager exists and the caller does not have the required permission
        IllegalStateException - if this card object has been disposed of via the disconnect() method

      • openLogicalChannel

        public abstract CardChannel openLogicalChannel()
                                        throws CardException
        Opens a new logical channel to the card and returns it. The channel is opened by issuing a MANAGE CHANNEL command that should use the format [00 70 00 00 01].
        Throws:
        SecurityException - if a SecurityManager exists and the caller does not have the required permission
        CardException - is a new logical channel could not be opened
        IllegalStateException - if this card object has been disposed of via the disconnect() method

      • beginExclusive

        public abstract void beginExclusive()
                             throws CardException
        Requests exclusive access to this card.

        Once a thread has invoked beginExclusive, only this thread is allowed to communicate with this card until it calls endExclusive. Other threads attempting communication will receive a CardException.

        Applications have to ensure that exclusive access is correctly released. This can be achieved by executing the beginExclusive() and endExclusive calls in a try ... finally block.

        Throws:
        SecurityException - if a SecurityManager exists and the caller does not have the required permission
        CardException - if exclusive access has already been set or if exclusive access could not be established
        IllegalStateException - if this card object has been disposed of via the disconnect() method

      • endExclusive

        public abstract void endExclusive()
                           throws CardException
        Releases the exclusive access previously established using beginExclusive.
        Throws:
        SecurityException - if a SecurityManager exists and the caller does not have the required permission
        IllegalStateException - if the active Thread does not currently have exclusive access to this card or if this card object has been disposed of via the disconnect() method
        CardException - if the operation failed

      • transmitControlCommand

        public abstract byte[] transmitControlCommand(int controlCode,
                                              byte[] command)
                                       throws CardException
        Transmits a control command to the terminal device.

        This can be used to, for example, control terminal functions like a built-in PIN pad or biometrics.

        Parameters:
        controlCode - the control code of the command
        command - the command data
        Throws:
        SecurityException - if a SecurityManager exists and the caller does not have the required permission
        NullPointerException - if command is null
        CardException - if the card operation failed
        IllegalStateException - if this card object has been disposed of via the disconnect() method

      • disconnect

        public abstract void disconnect(boolean reset)
                         throws CardException
        Disconnects the connection with this card. After this method returns, calling methods on this object or in CardChannels associated with this object that require interaction with the card will raise an IllegalStateException.
        Parameters:
        reset - whether to reset the card after disconnecting.
        Throws:
        CardException - if the card operation failed
