My question is ' How to do some processing when ever card 'tear' happens. According to JCRE Specifications, When ever a card 'tear' happens, the following actions take place.

Transient data is reset to the default value.

The transaction in progress, if any, when power was lost (or reset occurred) is aborted.

The applet that was selected when power was lost (or reset occurred) becomes implicitly deselected. (In this case the deselect method is not called.)

.....etc.



I want to decrement a particular count variable when ever card tear happens, so that I can lock the application after certain number of 'tears'.
How shall I do this, Since when a card is inserted next time, after a reset, control does not go to any function.



Does anybody have any idea? Please help.
