public Set<String> getExpectedPolicies ()

Returns the set of expected policies that would satisfy this node's valid policy in the next certificate to be processed.

Returns the set of expected policies that would satisfy this
node's valid policy in the next certificate to be processed.
Returns: an immutable Set of expected policy String OIDs, or an immutable Set with the single special value "any-policy". For the root node, this method always returns a Set with the single value "any-policy".

public PolicyNode getParent ()

Returns the parent of this node, or null if this is the root node.

Returns the parent of this node, or null if this is the
root node.
Returns: the parent of this node, or null if this is the root node

public Set<PolicyQualifierInfo> getPolicyQualifiers ()

Returns the set of policy qualifiers associated with the valid policy represented by this node.

Returns the set of policy qualifiers associated with the
valid policy represented by this node.
Returns: an immutable Set of PolicyQualifierInfos. For the root node, this is always an empty Set.

public String getValidPolicy ()

Returns the valid policy represented by this node.

Returns the valid policy represented by this node.

public boolean isCritical ()

Returns the criticality indicator of the certificate policy extension in the most recently processed certificate.

Returns the criticality indicator of the certificate policy extension
in the most recently processed certificate.
Returns: true if extension marked critical, false otherwise. For the root node, false is always returned.
