PKIXCertPathBuilderResult JDK 1.6)

Description

public class PKIXCertPathBuilderResult

This class represents the successful result of the PKIX certification path builder algorithm.

See also: CertPathBuilderResult

Constructors

public PKIXCertPathBuilderResult (CertPath certPath, TrustAnchor trustAnchor, PolicyNode policyTree, PublicKey subjectPublicKey)

Creates an instance of PKIXCertPathBuilderResult containing the specified parameters.

Creates an instance of PKIXCertPathBuilderResult
containing the specified parameters.
Parameters:
- certPath - the validated CertPath
- trustAnchor - a TrustAnchor describing the CA that served as a trust anchor for the certification path
- policyTree - the immutable valid policy tree, or null if there are no valid policies
- subjectPublicKey - the public key of the subject
Throws:
- NullPointerException - if the certPath, trustAnchor or subjectPublicKey parameters are null

Methods

Hide/Show inherited methods

public Object clone () [Inherited From PKIXCertPathValidatorResult]

Returns a copy of this object.

public CertPath getCertPath () [Specified in CertPathBuilderResult]

Returns the built and validated certification path.

Returns the built and validated certification path. The
CertPath object does not include the trust anchor.
Instead, use the getTrustAnchor() method to
obtain the TrustAnchor that served as the trust anchor
for the certification path.
Returns: the built and validated CertPath (never null)

public PolicyNode getPolicyTree () [Inherited From PKIXCertPathValidatorResult]

Returns the root node of the valid policy tree resulting from the PKIX certification path validation algorithm.

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: the root node of the valid policy tree, or null if there are no valid policies

public PublicKey getPublicKey () [Inherited From PKIXCertPathValidatorResult]

Returns the public key of the subject (target) of the certification path, including any inherited public key parameters if applicable.

Returns the public key of the subject (target) of the certification
path, including any inherited public key parameters if applicable.
Returns: the public key of the subject (never null)

public TrustAnchor getTrustAnchor () [Inherited From PKIXCertPathValidatorResult]

Returns the TrustAnchor describing the CA that served as a trust anchor for the certification path.

Returns the TrustAnchor describing the CA that served
as a trust anchor for the certification path.
Returns: the TrustAnchor (never null)

public String toString () [Overrides PKIXCertPathValidatorResult]

Return a printable representation of this PKIXCertPathBuilderResult.

Return a printable representation of this
PKIXCertPathBuilderResult.
Returns: a String describing the contents of this PKIXCertPathBuilderResult
