Method Detail

generateCRL

public final java.security.cert.CRL generateCRL(java.io.InputStream inStream)
                                         throws java.security.cert.CRLException

generateCRLs

public final java.util.Collection generateCRLs(java.io.InputStream inStream)
                                        throws java.security.cert.CRLException

generateCertificate

public final java.security.cert.Certificate generateCertificate(java.io.InputStream inStream)
                                                         throws java.security.cert.CertificateException

generateCertificates

public final java.util.Collection generateCertificates(java.io.InputStream inStream)
                                                throws java.security.cert.CertificateException

getCertPathEncodings

public final java.util.Iterator getCertPathEncodings()

Returns an iteration of the CertPath encodings supported by this certificate factory, with the default encoding first. See Appendix A in the Java Certification Path API Programmer's Guide for information about standard encoding names and their formats.

Attempts to modify the returned Iterator via its remove method result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

Returns:

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

generateCertPath

public final CertPath generateCertPath(java.io.InputStream inStream)
                                throws java.security.cert.CertificateException

Generates a CertPath object and initializes it with the data read from the InputStream inStream. The data is assumed to be in the default encoding. The name of the default encoding is the first element of the Iterator returned by the getCertPathEncodings method.

Parameters:

inStream - an InputStream containing the data

Returns:

a CertPath initialized with the data from the InputStream

Throws:

java.security.cert.CertificateException - if an exception occurs while decoding

generateCertPath

public final CertPath generateCertPath(java.io.InputStream inStream,
                                       java.lang.String encoding)
                                throws java.security.cert.CertificateException

Generates a CertPath object and initializes it with the data read from the InputStream inStream. The data is assumed to be in the specified encoding. See Appendix A in the Java Certification Path API Programmer's Guide for information about standard encoding names and their formats.

Parameters:

inStream - an InputStream containing the data

encoding - the encoding used for the data

Returns:

a CertPath initialized with the data from the InputStream

Throws:

java.security.cert.CertificateException - if an exception occurs while decoding or the encoding requested is not supported

generateCertPath

public final CertPath generateCertPath(java.util.List certificates)
                                throws java.security.cert.CertificateException

Generates a CertPath object and initializes it with a List of Certificates.

The certificates supplied must be of a type supported by the CertificateFactory. They will be copied out of the supplied List object.

Parameters:

certificates - a List of Certificates

Returns:

a CertPath initialized with the supplied list of certificates

Throws:

java.security.cert.CertificateException - if an exception occurs

getInstance

public static final CertificateFactory getInstance(java.lang.String type)
                                            throws java.security.cert.CertificateException

getInstance

public static final CertificateFactory getInstance(java.lang.String type,
                                                   java.lang.String provider)
                                            throws java.security.cert.CertificateException,
                                                   java.security.NoSuchProviderException

getProvider

public final java.security.Provider getProvider()

getType

public final java.lang.String getType()
