* This is an abstract class that defines the methods common to all * CertPaths. Subclasses can handle different kinds of * certificates (X.509, PGP, etc.). *

* All CertPath objects have a type, a list of * Certificates, and one or more supported encodings. Because the * CertPath class is immutable, a CertPath cannot * change in any externally visible way after being constructed. This * stipulation applies to all public fields and methods of this class and any * added or overridden by subclasses. *

* The type is a String that identifies the type of * Certificates in the certification path. For each * certificate cert in a certification path certPath, * cert.getType().equals(certPath.getType()) must be * true. *

* The list of Certificates is an ordered List of * zero or more Certificates. This List and all * of the Certificates contained in it must be immutable. *

* Each CertPath object must support one or more encodings * so that the object can be translated into a byte array for storage or * transmission to other parties. Preferably, these encodings should be * well-documented standards (such as PKCS#7). One of the encodings supported * by a CertPath is considered the default encoding. This * encoding is used if no encoding is explicitly requested (for the * {@link #getEncoded() getEncoded()} method, for instance). *

* All CertPath objects are also Serializable. * CertPath objects are resolved into an alternate * {@link CertPathRep CertPathRep} object during serialization. This allows * a CertPath object to be serialized into an equivalent * representation regardless of its underlying implementation. *

* CertPath objects can be created with a * CertificateFactory or they can be returned by other classes, * such as a CertPathBuilder. *

* By convention, X.509 CertPaths (consisting of * X509Certificates), are ordered starting with the target * certificate and ending with a certificate issued by the trust anchor. That * is, the issuer of one certificate is the subject of the following one. The * certificate representing the {@link TrustAnchor TrustAnchor} should not be * included in the certification path. Unvalidated X.509 CertPaths * may not follow these conventions. PKIX CertPathValidators will * detect any departure from these conventions that cause the certification * path to be invalid and throw a CertPathValidatorException. *

* Concurrent Access *

* All CertPath objects must be thread-safe. That is, multiple * threads may concurrently invoke the methods defined in this class on a * single CertPath object (or more than one) with no * ill effects. This is also true for the List returned by * CertPath.getCertificates. *

* Requiring CertPath objects to be immutable and thread-safe * allows them to be passed around to various pieces of code without worrying * about coordinating access. Providing this thread-safety is * generally not difficult, since the CertPath and * List objects in question are immutable. * * @see CertificateFactory * @see CertPathBuilder * * @version 1.9 12/19/03 * @author Yassir Elley * @since 1.4 */ public abstract class CertPath implements Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = 6068470306649138683L; private String type; // the type of certificates in this chain /** * Creates a CertPath of the specified type. *
