CertPathBuilderException

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• CertPathBuilderException signals problems during certification path building with CertPathBuilder.

• It inherits from GeneralSecurityException and can wrap other exceptions for debugging.

• Methods are generally not thread-safe, requiring synchronization for concurrent access by multiple threads on the same object.

• It provides constructors to create instances with detailed messages and underlying causes.

public class CertPathBuilderException extends GeneralSecurityException

An exception indicating one of a variety of problems encountered when building a certification path with a CertPathBuilder.

A CertPathBuilderException provides support for wrapping exceptions. The getCause method returns the throwable, if any, that caused this exception to be thrown.

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.

Inherited Method Summary

From class java.lang.Throwable

synchronized final void	addSuppressed(Throwable exception) Appends the specified exception to the exceptions that were suppressed in order to deliver this exception.
synchronized Throwable	fillInStackTrace() Fills in the execution stack trace.
synchronized Throwable	getCause() Returns the cause of this throwable or null if the cause is nonexistent or unknown.
String	getLocalizedMessage() Creates a localized description of this throwable.
String	getMessage() Returns the detail message string of this throwable.
StackTraceElement[]	getStackTrace() Provides programmatic access to the stack trace information printed by printStackTrace().
synchronized final Throwable[]	getSuppressed() Returns an array containing all of the exceptions that were suppressed, typically by the try-with-resources statement, in order to deliver this exception.
synchronized Throwable	initCause(Throwable cause) Initializes the cause of this throwable to the specified value.
void	printStackTrace() Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the standard error stream.
void	printStackTrace(PrintWriter s) Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print writer.
void	printStackTrace(PrintStream s) Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print stream.
void	setStackTrace(StackTraceElement[] stackTrace) Sets the stack trace elements that will be returned by getStackTrace() and printed by printStackTrace() and related methods.
String	toString() Returns a short description of this throwable.

From class java.lang.Object

Object	clone() Creates and returns a copy of this Object.
boolean	equals(Object obj) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal.
void	finalize() Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable.
final Class<?>	getClass() Returns the unique instance of Class that represents this object's class.
int	hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object.
final void	notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up.
final void	notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up.
String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
final void	wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait(long timeout) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object.

Public Constructors

public CertPathBuilderException ()

Creates a CertPathBuilderException with null as its detail message.

public CertPathBuilderException (String msg)

Creates a CertPathBuilderException with the given detail message. The detail message is a String that describes this particular exception in more detail.

Parameters

msg	the detail message

public CertPathBuilderException (Throwable cause)

Creates a CertPathBuilderException that wraps the specified throwable. This allows any exception to be converted into a CertPathBuilderException, while retaining information about the wrapped exception, which may be useful for debugging. The detail message is set to (cause==null ? null : cause.toString()) (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause).

Parameters

cause	the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the getCause() method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)

public CertPathBuilderException (String msg, Throwable cause)

Creates a CertPathBuilderException with the specified detail message and cause.

Parameters

msg	the detail message
cause	the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the getCause() method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
