Interface CertPathBuilderResult

All Superinterfaces:
  Cloneable

All Known Implementing Classes:
  PKIXCertPathBuilderResult

    public interface CertPathBuilderResult

extends Cloneable

A specification of the result of a certification path builder algorithm. All results returned by the `CertPathBuilder.build` method must implement this interface.

At a minimum, a `CertPathBuilderResult` contains the `CertPath` built by the `CertPathBuilder` instance. Implementations of this interface may add methods to return implementation or algorithm specific information, such as debugging information or certification path validation results.

Concurrent Access

Unless otherwise specified, the methods defined in this interface 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.

Since:
  1.4

Method Summary
`Object` | `clone()` Makes a copy of this `CertPathBuilderResult`.
`CertPath` | `getCertPath()` Returns the built certification path.

Method Detail

### getCertPath

    CertPath getCertPath()

  Returns the built certification path.

  Returns:
    the certification path (never `null`)

### clone

    Object clone()

  Makes a copy of this `CertPathBuilderResult`. Changes to the copy will not affect the original and vice versa.

  Returns:
    a copy of this `CertPathBuilderResult`
