CertStoreSpi

public abstract class CertStoreSpi
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	java.security.cert.CertStoreSpi

---

The Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the CertStore class. All CertStore implementations must include a class (the SPI class) that extends this class (CertStoreSpi), provides a constructor with a single argument of type CertStoreParameters, and implements all of its methods. In general, instances of this class should only be accessed through the CertStore class. For details, see the Java Cryptography Architecture.

Concurrent Access

The public methods of all CertStoreSpi objects must be thread-safe. That is, multiple threads may concurrently invoke these methods on a single CertStoreSpi object (or more than one) with no ill effects. This allows a CertPathBuilder to search for a CRL while simultaneously searching for further certificates, for instance.

Simple CertStoreSpi implementations will probably ensure thread safety by adding a synchronized keyword to their engineGetCertificates and engineGetCRLs methods. More sophisticated ones may allow truly concurrent access.

Public methods

Inherited methods

From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify()
