Method Detail

getEncodings

public Iterator getEncodings()
Returns an iteration of the encodings supported by this certification path, with the default encoding first. Attempts to modify the returned Iterator via its remove method result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

Specified by:
getEncodings in class CertPath
Returns:
an Iterator over the names of the supported encodings (as Strings)

getEncoded

public byte[] getEncoded()
                  throws CertificateEncodingException
Returns the encoded form of this certification path, using the default encoding.

Specified by:
getEncoded in class CertPath
Returns:
the encoded bytes
Throws:
CertificateEncodingException - if an encoding error occurs

getEncoded

public byte[] getEncoded(String encoding)
                  throws CertificateEncodingException
Returns the encoded form of this certification path, using the specified encoding. TODO: implement PKCS7 decoding

Specified by:
getEncoded in class CertPath
Parameters:
encoding - the name of the encoding to use
Returns:
the encoded bytes
Throws:
CertificateEncodingException - if an encoding error occurs or the encoding requested is not supported

getCertificates

public List getCertificates()
Returns the list of certificates in this certification path. The List returned must be immutable and thread-safe. TODO: return immutable List

Specified by:
getCertificates in class CertPath
Returns:
an immutable List of Certificates (may be empty, but not null)
