A Smart Card with which a connection has been established. Card objects are obtained by calling CardTerminal.connect().

public abstract class Card {
Constructs a new Card object.

This constructor is called by subclasses only. Application should call the CardTerminal.connect() method to obtain a Card object.

Returns the ATR of this card.
Returns:the ATR of this card.
/** * Returns the ATR of this card. * * @return the ATR of this card. */
public abstract ATR getATR();
Returns the protocol in use for this card.
Returns:the protocol in use for this card, for example "T=0" or "T=1"
/** * Returns the protocol in use for this card. * * @return the protocol in use for this card, for example "T=0" or "T=1" */

Returns the CardChannel for the basic logical channel. The basic logical channel has a channel number of 0.
Throws:

public abstract CardChannel getBasicChannel();
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:
/** * Opens a new logical channel to the card and returns it.

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

public abstract void beginExclusive() 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

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.

Params:
  • controlCode – the control code of the command
  • command – the command data
Throws:
/** * Transmits a control command to the terminal device. * * <p>This can be used to, for example, control terminal functions like * a built-in PIN pad or biometrics. * * @param controlCode the control code of the command * @param command the command data * * @throws SecurityException if a SecurityManager exists and the * caller does not have the required * {@linkplain CardPermission permission} * @throws NullPointerException if command is null * @throws CardException if the card operation failed * @throws IllegalStateException if this card object has been disposed of * via the {@linkplain #disconnect disconnect()} method */
public abstract byte[] transmitControlCommand(int controlCode, byte[] command) 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.
Params:
  • reset – whether to reset the card after disconnecting.
Throws:
/** * Disconnects the connection with this card.
