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.
