Class CertPathBuilderSpi
- java.lang.Object
-
- java.security.cert.CertPathBuilderSpi
-
public abstract class CertPathBuilderSpi extends Object
The Service Provider Interface (SPI) for theCertPathBuilderclass. AllCertPathBuilderimplementations 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 theCertPathBuilderclass. 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
CertPathBuilderSpiinstance concurrently should synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking before calling the wrappingCertPathBuilderobject.However, implementations of
CertPathBuilderSpimay still encounter concurrency issues, since multiple threads each manipulating a differentCertPathBuilderSpiinstance need not synchronize.- Since:
- 1.4

Method Detail
engineBuild
public abstract CertPathBuilderResult engineBuild(CertPathParameters params) throws CertPathBuilderException, InvalidAlgorithmParameterException
Attempts to build a certification path using the specified algorithm parameter set.- Parameters:
-
params- the algorithm parameters - Returns:
- the result of the build algorithm
- Throws:
-
CertPathBuilderException- if the builder is unable to construct a certification path that satisfies the specified parameters -
InvalidAlgorithmParameterException- if the specified parameters are inappropriate for thisCertPathBuilder
engineGetRevocationChecker
public CertPathChecker engineGetRevocationChecker()
Returns aCertPathCheckerthat this implementation uses to check the revocation status of certificates. A PKIX implementation returns objects of typePKIXRevocationChecker.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
CertPathBuilderfor 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.- Returns:
-
a
CertPathCheckerthat this implementation uses to check the revocation status of certificates - Throws:
-
UnsupportedOperationException- if this method is not supported - Since:
- 1.8
