class
CertPathBuilderSpi
extends Object
| java.lang.Object | |
| ↳ | java.security.cert.CertPathBuilderSpi |
The Service Provider Interface (SPI)
for the CertPathBuilder class. All
CertPathBuilder implementations must include a class (the
SPI class) that extends this class (CertPathBuilderSpi) and
implements all of its methods. In general, instances of this class should
only be accessed through the CertPathBuilder class. For
details, see the Java Cryptography Architecture.
Concurrent Access
Instances of this class need not be protected against concurrent
access from multiple threads. Threads that need to access a single
CertPathBuilderSpi instance concurrently should synchronize
amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking before calling the
wrapping CertPathBuilder object.
However, implementations of CertPathBuilderSpi may still
encounter concurrency issues, since multiple threads each
manipulating a different CertPathBuilderSpi instance need not
synchronize.

CertPathChecker engineGetRevocationChecker ()
Returns a CertPathChecker that this implementation uses to
check the revocation status of certificates. A PKIX implementation
returns objects of type PKIXRevocationChecker.
The primary purpose of this method is to allow callers to specify
additional input parameters and options specific to revocation checking.
See the class description of CertPathBuilder for an example.
This method was added to version 1.8 of the Java Platform Standard
Edition. In order to maintain backwards compatibility with existing
service providers, this method cannot be abstract and by default throws
an UnsupportedOperationException.
