Known Direct Subclasses |
This class represents the successful result of the PKIX certification path validation algorithm.
Instances of PKIXCertPathValidatorResult
are returned by the
validate
method of
CertPathValidator
objects implementing the PKIX algorithm.
All PKIXCertPathValidatorResult
objects contain the
valid policy tree and subject public key resulting from the
validation algorithm, as well as 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 Methods
public PolicyNode getPolicyTree ()
Returns the root node of the valid policy tree resulting from the
PKIX certification path validation algorithm. The
PolicyNode
object that is returned and any objects that
it returns through public methods are immutable.
Most applications will not need to examine the valid policy tree.
They can achieve their policy processing goals by setting the
policy-related parameters in PKIXParameters
. However, more
sophisticated applications, especially those that process policy
qualifiers, may need to traverse the valid policy tree using the
PolicyNode.getParent
and
PolicyNode.getChildren
methods.
Returns
- the root node of the valid policy tree, or
null
if there are no valid policies
public PublicKey getPublicKey ()
Returns the public key of the subject (target) of the certification path, including any inherited public key parameters if applicable.
Returns
- the public key of the subject (never
null
)
public TrustAnchor getTrustAnchor ()
Returns the TrustAnchor
describing the CA that served
as a trust anchor for the certification path.
Returns
- the
TrustAnchor
(nevernull
)
public String toString ()
Return a printable representation of this
PKIXCertPathValidatorResult
.
Returns
- a
String
describing the contents of thisPKIXCertPathValidatorResult
