public class PKIXCertPath extends CertPath

CertPath implementation for X.509 certificates.
Method Summary
ListgetCertificates()
Returns the list of certificates in this certification path.
byte[]getEncoded()
Returns the encoded form of this certification path, using the default encoding.
byte[]getEncoded(String encoding)
Returns the encoded form of this certification path, using the specified encoding.
IteratorgetEncodings()
Returns an iteration of the encodings supported by this certification path, with the default encoding first.

Method Detail

getCertificates

public List getCertificates()
Returns the list of certificates in this certification path. The List returned must be immutable and thread-safe.

Returns: an immutable List of Certificates (may be empty, but not null)

getEncoded

public byte[] getEncoded()
Returns the encoded form of this certification path, using the default encoding.

Returns: the encoded bytes

Throws: CertificateEncodingException if an encoding error occurs

getEncoded

public byte[] getEncoded(String encoding)
Returns the encoded form of this certification path, using the specified encoding.

Parameters: encoding the name of the encoding to use

Returns: the encoded bytes

Throws: CertificateEncodingException if an encoding error occurs or the encoding requested is not supported

getEncodings

public Iterator getEncodings()
Returns an iteration of the encodings supported by this certification path, with the default encoding first. Attempts to modify the returned Iterator via its remove method result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

Returns: an Iterator over the names of the supported encodings (as Strings)
