The Service Provider Interface (SPI)
for the {@link CertPathValidator CertPathValidator} class. All
CertPathValidator implementations must include a class (the
SPI class) that extends this class (CertPathValidatorSpi)
and implements all of its methods. In general, instances of this class
should only be accessed through the CertPathValidator 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
CertPathValidatorSpi instance concurrently should synchronize
amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking before calling the
wrapping CertPathValidator object.
However, implementations of CertPathValidatorSpi may still
encounter concurrency issues, since multiple threads each
manipulating a different CertPathValidatorSpi instance need not
synchronize. |
