PKIXValidator

extends Validator

java.lang.Object
↳	sun.security.validator.Validator
	↳	sun.security.validator.PKIXValidator

Class Overview

Validator implementation built on the PKIX CertPath API. This implementation will be emphasized going forward.

Note that the validate() implementation tries to use a PKIX validator if that appears possible and a PKIX builder otherwise. This increases performance and currently also leads to better exception messages in case of failures.

From class java.lang.Object

Object	clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object.
boolean	equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
void	finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
final Class<?>	getClass() Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
int	hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object.
final void	notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
final void	notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
String	toString() Returns a string representation of the object.
final void	wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object.
final void	wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
final void	wait(long timeout) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.

Public Methods

public int getCertPathLength ()

Returns the length of the last certification path that is validated by CertPathValidator. This is intended primarily as a callback mechanism for PKIXCertPathCheckers to determine the length of the certification path that is being validated. It is necessary since engineValidate() may modify the length of the path.

Returns

the length of the last certification path passed to CertPathValidator.validate, or -1 if it has not been invoked yet

public PKIXBuilderParameters getParameters ()

Return the PKIX parameters used by this instance. An application may modify the parameters but must make sure not to perform any concurrent validations.

public Collection<X509Certificate> getTrustedCertificates ()

Returns an immutable Collection of the X509Certificates this instance uses as trust anchors.
