Class CertPathBuilderSpi
java.lang.Object
|
+--java.security.cert.CertPathBuilderSpi
- public abstract class CertPathBuilderSpi
- extends Object
The Service Provider Interface (SPI)
for the CertPathBuilder
class. All
CertPathBuilder
implementations must include a class (the
SPI class) that extends this class (CertPathBuilderSpi
) and
implements all of its methods. In general, instances of this class should
only be accessed through the CertPathBuilder
class. For
details, see the Java Cryptography Architecture.
Concurrent Access
Instances of this class need not be protected against concurrent
access from multiple threads. Threads that need to access a single
CertPathBuilderSpi
instance concurrently should synchronize
amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking before calling the
wrapping CertPathBuilder
object.
However, implementations of CertPathBuilderSpi
may still
encounter concurrency issues, since multiple threads each
manipulating a different CertPathBuilderSpi
instance need not
synchronize.
