package java.security.cert;

import java.security.PublicKey;

This class represents the successful result of the PKIX certification path builder algorithm. All certification paths that are built and returned using this algorithm are also validated according to the PKIX certification path validation algorithm.

Instances of PKIXCertPathBuilderResult are returned by the build method of CertPathBuilder objects implementing the PKIX algorithm.

All PKIXCertPathBuilderResult objects contain the certification path constructed by the build algorithm, the valid policy tree and subject public key resulting from the build algorithm, and a TrustAnchor describing the certification authority (CA) that served as a trust anchor for the certification path.

Concurrent Access

Unless otherwise specified, the methods defined in this class are not thread-safe. Multiple threads that need to access a single object concurrently should synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking. Multiple threads each manipulating separate objects need not synchronize.

public class PKIXCertPathBuilderResult extends PKIXCertPathValidatorResult implements CertPathBuilderResult { private CertPath certPath;
Creates an instance of PKIXCertPathBuilderResult containing the specified parameters.
Params:
  • certPath – the validated CertPath
  • trustAnchor – a TrustAnchor describing the CA that served as a trust anchor for the certification path
  • policyTree – the immutable valid policy tree, or null if there are no valid policies
  • subjectPublicKey – the public key of the subject
Throws:
/** * Creates an instance of {@code PKIXCertPathBuilderResult} * containing the specified parameters. * * @param certPath the validated {@code CertPath} * @param trustAnchor a {@code TrustAnchor} describing the CA that * served as a trust anchor for the certification path * @param policyTree the immutable valid policy tree, or {@code null} * if there are no valid policies * @param subjectPublicKey the public key of the subject * @throws NullPointerException if the {@code certPath}, * {@code trustAnchor} or {@code subjectPublicKey} parameters * are {@code null} */

Returns the built and validated certification path. The CertPath object does not include the trust anchor. Instead, use the getTrustAnchor() method to obtain the TrustAnchor that served as the trust anchor for the certification path.
Returns:the built and validated CertPath (never null)
