 Known Direct Subclasses
|
This class represents the successful result of the PKIX certification path validation algorithm.
Instances of PKIXCertPathValidatorResult are returned by the
validate method of
CertPathValidator objects implementing the PKIX algorithm.
All PKIXCertPathValidatorResult objects contain the
valid policy tree and subject public key resulting from the
validation algorithm, as well as a TrustAnchor describing
the certification authority (CA) that served as a trust anchor for the
certification path.
Concurrent Access
Unless otherwise specified, the methods defined in this class are not thread-safe. Multiple threads that need to access a single object concurrently should synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking. Multiple threads each manipulating separate objects need not synchronize.

PKIXCertPathValidatorResult (TrustAnchor trustAnchor, PolicyNode policyTree, PublicKey subjectPublicKey)
Creates an instance of PKIXCertPathValidatorResult
containing the specified parameters.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
trustAnchor |
TrustAnchor:
a TrustAnchor describing the CA that
served as a trust anchor for the certification path |
policyTree |
PolicyNode:
the immutable valid policy tree, or null
if there are no valid policies |
subjectPublicKey |
PublicKey:
the public key of the subject |
| Throws | |
|---|---|
NullPointerException |
if the subjectPublicKey or
trustAnchor parameters are null
|
PolicyNode getPolicyTree ()
Returns the root node of the valid policy tree resulting from the
PKIX certification path validation algorithm. The
PolicyNode object that is returned and any objects that
it returns through public methods are immutable.
Most applications will not need to examine the valid policy tree.
They can achieve their policy processing goals by setting the
policy-related parameters in PKIXParameters. However, more
sophisticated applications, especially those that process policy
qualifiers, may need to traverse the valid policy tree using the
PolicyNode.getParent and
PolicyNode.getChildren methods.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
PolicyNode |
the root node of the valid policy tree, or null
if there are no valid policies
|
PublicKey getPublicKey ()
Returns the public key of the subject (target) of the certification path, including any inherited public key parameters if applicable.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
PublicKey |
the public key of the subject (never null)
|
TrustAnchor getTrustAnchor ()
Returns the TrustAnchor describing the CA that served
as a trust anchor for the certification path.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
TrustAnchor |
the TrustAnchor (never null)
|
String toString ()
Return a printable representation of this
PKIXCertPathValidatorResult.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
String |
a String describing the contents of this
PKIXCertPathValidatorResult
