• Constructor Detail

  • CertPath

    protected CertPath(String type)

    Creates a new CertPath instance for the specified certificate type.

    Parameters:

    type - the certificate type.

• Method Detail

  • getType

    public String getType()

    Returns the type of Certificate in this instance.

    Returns:

    the certificate type.

  • equals

    public boolean equals(Object other)

    Returns true if Certificates in the list are the same type and the lists are equal (and by implication the certificates contained within are the same).

    Overrides:

    equals in class Object

    Parameters:

    other - CertPath to be compared for equality.

    Returns:

    true if the object are equal, false otherwise.

    See Also:

    Object.hashCode()

  • hashCode

    public int hashCode()

    Overrides Object.hashCode(). The function is defined as follows:

     hashCode = 31 * path.getType().hashCode() +
     path.getCertificates().hashCode();
     

    Overrides:

    hashCode in class Object

    Returns:

    the hash code for this instance.

    See Also:

    Object.equals(java.lang.Object)

  • toString

    public String toString()

    Returns a String representation of this CertPath instance. It is the result of calling toString on all Certificates in the List.

    Overrides:

    toString in class Object

    Returns:

    a string representation of this instance.

  • getCertificates

    public abstract List<? extends Certificate> getCertificates()

    Returns an immutable List of the Certificates contained in the CertPath.

    Returns:

    a list of Certificates in the CertPath.

  • getEncoded

    public abstract byte[] getEncoded()
                               throws CertificateEncodingException

    Returns an encoding of the CertPath using the default encoding.

    Returns:

    default encoding of the CertPath.

    Throws:

    CertificateEncodingException - if the encoding fails.

  • getEncoded

    public abstract byte[] getEncoded(String encoding)
                               throws CertificateEncodingException

    Returns an encoding of the CertPath using the specified encoding.

    Parameters:

    encoding - encoding that should be generated.

    Returns:

    default encoding of the CertPath.

    Throws:

    CertificateEncodingException - if the encoding fails.

  • getEncodings

    public abstract Iterator<String> getEncodings()

    Returns an Iterator over the supported encodings for a representation of the certificate path.

    Returns:

    Iterator over supported encodings (as Strings).

  • writeReplace

    protected Object writeReplace()
                           throws ObjectStreamException

    Returns an alternate object to be serialized.

    Returns:

    an alternate object to be serialized.

    Throws:

    ObjectStreamException - if the creation of the alternate object fails.
