/**
 * A class for building certification paths (also known as certificate chains).
 * <p>
 * This class uses a provider-based architecture.
 * To create a <code>CertPathBuilder</code>, call 
 * one of the static <code>getInstance</code> methods, passing in the 
 * algorithm name of the <code>CertPathBuilder</code> desired and optionally 
 * the name of the provider desired.
 * <p>
 * Once a <code>CertPathBuilder</code> object has been created, certification 
 * paths can be constructed by calling the {@link #build build} method and 
 * passing it an algorithm-specific set of parameters. If successful, the 
 * result (including the <code>CertPath</code> that was built) is returned 
 * in an object that implements the <code>CertPathBuilderResult</code> 
 * interface.
 * <p>
 * <b>Concurrent Access</b>
 * <p>
 * The static methods of this class are guaranteed to be thread-safe.
 * Multiple threads may concurrently invoke the static methods defined in
 * this class with no ill effects.
 * <p>
 * However, this is not true for the non-static methods defined by this class.
 * Unless otherwise documented by a specific provider, threads that need to
 * access a single <code>CertPathBuilder</code> instance concurrently should
 * synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking. Multiple
 * threads each manipulating a different <code>CertPathBuilder</code> instance
 * need not synchronize.
