java.security.cert
Class CertPath
- Serializable
This class represents an immutable sequence, or path, of security
certificates. The path type must match the type of each certificate in the
path, or in other words, for all instances of cert in a certpath object,
cert.getType().equals(certpath.getType()) will return true.
Since this class is immutable, it is thread-safe. During serialization,
the path is consolidated into a
CertPath.CertPathRep, which preserves the
data regardless of the underlying implementation of the path.
boolean | equals(Object o)- Compares this path to another for semantic equality.
|
abstract List | extends Certificate> getCertificates()- Returns the immutable, thread-safe list of certificates in this path.
|
abstract byte[] | getEncoded()- Returns the encoded form of this path, via the default encoding.
|
abstract byte[] | getEncoded(String encoding)- Returns the encoded form of this path, via the specified encoding.
|
abstract Iterator | getEncodings()- Get an immutable iterator over the path encodings (all String names),
starting with the default encoding.
|
String | getType()- Get the (non-null) type of all certificates in the path.
|
int | hashCode()- Returns the hashcode of this certificate path.
|
String | toString()- Convert this Object to a human-readable String.
|
protected Object | writeReplace()- Serializes the path in its encoded form, to ensure reserialization with
the appropriate factory object without worrying about list implementation.

CertPath
protected CertPath(String type)
Create a certificate path with the given type. Most code should use
CertificateFactory to create CertPaths.
type - the type of the path
equals
public boolean equals(Object o)
Compares this path to another for semantic equality. To be equal, both
must be instances of CertPath, with the same type, and identical
certificate lists. Overriding classes must not change this behavior.
- equals in interface Object
o - the object to compare to
- true if the two are equal
extends Certificate> getCertificates
public abstract Listextends Certificate> getCertificates()
Returns the immutable, thread-safe list of certificates in this path.
- the list of certificates, non-null but possibly empty
getEncodings
public abstract Iterator getEncodings()
Get an immutable iterator over the path encodings (all String names),
starting with the default encoding. The iterator will throw an
UnsupportedOperationException if an attempt is made to
remove items from the list.
- the iterator of supported encodings in the path
getType
public String getType()
Get the (non-null) type of all certificates in the path.
- the path certificate type
hashCode
public int hashCode()
Returns the hashcode of this certificate path. This is defined as:
31 * getType().hashCode() + getCertificates().hashCode().
- hashCode in interface Object
toString
public String toString()
Convert this Object to a human-readable String.
There are no limits placed on how long this String
should be or what it should contain. We suggest you
make it as intuitive as possible to be able to place
it into
System.out.println()
and such.
It is typical, but not required, to ensure that this method
never completes abruptly with a
RuntimeException.
This method will be called when performing string
concatenation with this object. If the result is
null, string concatenation will instead
use
"null".
The default implementation returns
getClass().getName() + "@" +
Integer.toHexString(hashCode()).
- toString in interface Object
- the String representing this Object, which may be null
