Constructor Detail

PKIXParameters

public PKIXParameters(KeyStore keystore)
               throws KeyStoreException,
                      InvalidAlgorithmParameterException

Create a new PKIXParameters object, populating the trusted certificates set with all certificates found in the given key store. All certificates found in the key store are assumed to be trusted by this constructor.

Parameters:

keystore - The key store.

Throws:

KeyStoreException - If the certificates cannot be retrieved from the key store.

InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - If there are no certificates in the key store.

NullPointerException - If keystore is null.

PKIXParameters

public PKIXParameters(Set trustAnchors)
               throws InvalidAlgorithmParameterException

Create a new PKIXParameters object, populating the trusted certificates set with the elements of the given set, each of which must be a TrustAnchor.

Parameters:

trustAnchors - The set of trust anchors.

Throws:

InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - If there are no certificates in the set.

NullPointerException - If trustAnchors is null.

ClassCastException - If every element in trustAnchors is not a TrustAnchor.

Method Detail

getTrustAnchors

public Set getTrustAnchors()

Returns an immutable set of trust anchors. The set returned will never be null and will never be empty.

Returns:

A (never null, never empty) immutable set of trust anchors.

setTrustAnchors

public void setTrustAnchors(Set trustAnchors)
                     throws InvalidAlgorithmParameterException

Sets the trust anchors of this class, replacing the current trust anchors with those in the given set. The supplied set is copied to prevent modification.

Parameters:

trustAnchors - The new set of trust anchors.

Throws:

InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - If there are no certificates in the set.

NullPointerException - If trustAnchors is null.

ClassCastException - If every element in trustAnchors is not a TrustAnchor.

getInitialPolicies

public Set getInitialPolicies()

Returns the set of initial policy identifiers (as OID strings). If any policy is accepted, this method returns the empty set.

Returns:

An immutable set of initial policy OID strings, or the empty set if any policy is acceptable.

setInitialPolicies

public void setInitialPolicies(Set initPolicies)

Sets the initial policy identifiers (as OID strings). If the argument is null or the empty set, then any policy identifier will be accepted.

Parameters:

initPolicies - The new set of policy strings, or null.

Throws:

ClassCastException - If any element in initPolicies is not a string.
