## javax.net.ssl
Class TrustManagerFactory

    java.lang.Object
      javax.net.ssl.TrustManagerFactory

public class TrustManagerFactory
extends Object

This class acts as a factory for trust managers based on a source of trust material. Each trust manager manages a specific type of trust material for use by secure sockets. The trust material is based on a KeyStore and/or provider specific sources.

Since:
  1.4

Constructor Detail

### TrustManagerFactory

    protected TrustManagerFactory(TrustManagerFactorySpi factorySpi,
                                  Provider provider,
                                  String algorithm)

  Creates a TrustManagerFactory object.

Parameters:
  `factorySpi` - the delegate
  `provider` - the provider
  `algorithm` - the algorithm

Method Detail

### getDefaultAlgorithm

    public static final String getDefaultAlgorithm()

  Obtains the default TrustManagerFactory algorithm name.

  The default TrustManager can be changed at runtime by setting the value of the "ssl.TrustManagerFactory.algorithm" security property (set in the Java security properties file or by calling `Security.setProperty(String, String)`) to the desired algorithm name.

  Returns:
    the default algorithm name as specified in the Java security properties, or an implementation-specific default if no such property exists.

### getAlgorithm

    public final String getAlgorithm()

  Returns the algorithm name of this `TrustManagerFactory` object.

  This is the same name that was specified in one of the `getInstance` calls that created this `TrustManagerFactory` object.

  Returns:
    the algorithm name of this `TrustManagerFactory` object

### getInstance

    public static final TrustManagerFactory getInstance(String algorithm)
                                                 throws NoSuchAlgorithmException

  Generates a `TrustManagerFactory` object that implements the specified trust management algorithm.

  If the default provider package provides an implementation of the requested trust management algorithm, an instance of `TrustManagerFactory` containing that implementation is returned. If the algorithm is not available in the default provider package, other provider packages are searched.

  Parameters:
    `algorithm` - the standard name of the requested trust management algorithm.
  Returns:
    the new `TrustManagerFactory` object
  Throws:
    `NoSuchAlgorithmException` - if the specified algorithm is not available in the default provider package or any of the other provider packages that were searched.

### getInstance

    public static final TrustManagerFactory getInstance(String algorithm,
                                                        String provider)
                                                 throws NoSuchAlgorithmException,
                                                        NoSuchProviderException

  Generates a `TrustManagerFactory` object for the specified trust management algorithm from the specified provider.

  Parameters:
    `algorithm` - the standard name of the requested trust management algorithm.
    `provider` - the name of the provider
  Returns:
    the new `TrustManagerFactory` object
  Throws:
    `NoSuchAlgorithmException` - if the specified algorithm is not available from the specified provider.
    `NoSuchProviderException` - if the specified provider has not been configured.
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if provider is not specified

### getInstance

    public static final TrustManagerFactory getInstance(String algorithm,
                                                        Provider provider)
                                                 throws NoSuchAlgorithmException

  Generates a `TrustManagerFactory` object for the specified trust management algorithm from the specified provider.

  Parameters:
    `algorithm` - the standard name of the requested trust management algorithm.
    `provider` - an instance of the provider
  Returns:
    the new `TrustManagerFactory` object
  Throws:
    `NoSuchAlgorithmException` - if the specified algorithm is not available from the specified provider.
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if provider is not specified

### getProvider

    public final Provider getProvider()

  Returns the provider of this `TrustManagerFactory` object.

  Returns:
    the provider of this `TrustManagerFactory` object

### init

    public final void init(KeyStore ks)
                    throws KeyStoreException

  Initializes this factory with a source of certificate authorities and related trust material.

  The provider typically uses a KeyStore as a basis for making trust decisions.

  For more flexible initialization, please see `init(ManagerFactoryParameters)`.

  Parameters:
    `ks` - the key store, or null
  Throws:
    `KeyStoreException` - if this operation fails

### init

    public final void init(ManagerFactoryParameters spec)
                    throws InvalidAlgorithmParameterException

  Initializes this factory with a source of provider-specific trust material.

  In some cases, initialization parameters other than a keystore may be needed by a provider. Users of that particular provider are expected to pass an implementation of the appropriate `ManagerFactoryParameters` as defined by the provider. The provider can then call the specified methods in the `ManagerFactoryParameters` implementation to obtain the needed information.

  Parameters:
    `spec` - an implementation of a provider-specific parameter specification
  Throws:
    `InvalidAlgorithmParameterException` - if an error is encountered

### getTrustManagers

    public final TrustManager[] getTrustManagers()

  Returns one trust manager for each type of trust material.

  Returns:
    the trust managers
