Method Summary

abstract CertPath	engineGenerateCertPath(java.io.InputStream inStream) Generates a CertPath object and initializes it with the data read from the InputStream inStream.
abstract CertPath	engineGenerateCertPath(java.io.InputStream inStream, java.lang.String encoding) Generates a CertPath object and initializes it with the data read from the InputStream inStream.
abstract CertPath	engineGenerateCertPath(java.util.List certificates) Generates a CertPath object and initializes it with a List of Certificates. The certificates supplied must be of a type supported by the CertificateFactory.
abstract java.util.Iterator	engineGetCertPathEncodings() Returns an iteration of the CertPath encodings supported by this certificate factory, with the default encoding first.

Method Detail

engineGetCertPathEncodings

public abstract java.util.Iterator engineGetCertPathEncodings()

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.

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

This method was added to version 1.4 of the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition. In order to maintain backwards compatibility with existing service providers, this method cannot be abstract and by default throws an UnsupportedOperationException.

Returns:

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

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the method is not supported

engineGenerateCertPath

public abstract CertPath engineGenerateCertPath(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.

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

engineGenerateCertPath

public abstract CertPath engineGenerateCertPath(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.

This method was added to version 1.4 of the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition. In order to maintain backwards compatibility with existing service providers, this method cannot be abstract and by default throws an UnsupportedOperationException.

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

UnsupportedOperationException - if the method is not supported

engineGenerateCertPath

public abstract CertPath engineGenerateCertPath(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.

This method was added to version 1.4 of the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition. In order to maintain backwards compatibility with existing service providers, this method cannot be abstract and by default throws an UnsupportedOperationException.

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

UnsupportedOperationException - if the method is not supported
