class
CertPathValidatorSpi
extends Object
| java.lang.Object | |
| ↳ | java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorSpi |
The Service Provider Interface (SPI)
for the CertPathValidator class. All
CertPathValidator implementations must include a class (the
SPI class) that extends this class (CertPathValidatorSpi)
and implements all of its methods. In general, instances of this class
should only be accessed through the CertPathValidator 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
CertPathValidatorSpi instance concurrently should synchronize
amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking before calling the
wrapping CertPathValidator object.
However, implementations of CertPathValidatorSpi may still
encounter concurrency issues, since multiple threads each
manipulating a different CertPathValidatorSpi 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 CertPathValidator 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.

UnsupportedOperationException |
if this method is not supported |
CertPathValidatorResult engineValidate (CertPath certPath, CertPathParameters params)
Validates the specified certification path using the specified algorithm parameter set.
The CertPath specified must be of a type that is
supported by the validation algorithm, otherwise an
InvalidAlgorithmParameterException will be thrown. For
example, a CertPathValidator that implements the PKIX
algorithm validates CertPath objects of type X.509.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
certPath |
CertPath:
the CertPath to be validated |
params |
CertPathParameters:
the algorithm parameters |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
CertPathValidatorResult |
the result of the validation algorithm |
| Throws | |
|---|---|
CertPathValidatorException |
if the CertPath
does not validate |
InvalidAlgorithmParameterException |
if the specified
parameters or the type of the specified CertPath are
inappropriate for this CertPathValidator
