An exception indicating one of a variety of problems encountered when validating a certification path.
 A CertPathValidatorException provides support for wrapping
 exceptions. The getCause method returns the throwable,
 if any, that caused this exception to be thrown.
 
 A CertPathValidatorException may also include the
 certification path that was being validated when the exception was thrown,
 the index of the certificate in the certification path that caused the
 exception to be thrown, and the reason that caused the failure. Use the
 getCertPath, getIndex, and
 getReason methods to retrieve this information.
 
Concurrent Access
Unless otherwise specified, the methods defined in this class are not thread-safe. Multiple threads that need to access a single object concurrently should synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking. Multiple threads each manipulating separate objects need not synchronize.

Inherited methods | |
|---|---|
Public constructors
CertPathValidatorException
public CertPathValidatorException ()
Creates a CertPathValidatorException with
 no detail message.
CertPathValidatorException
public CertPathValidatorException (String msg)
Creates a CertPathValidatorException with the given
 detail message. A detail message is a String that
 describes this particular exception.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
msg | 
        
          String: the detail message | 
      
CertPathValidatorException
public CertPathValidatorException (String msg, Throwable cause)
Creates a CertPathValidatorException with the specified
 detail message and cause.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
msg | 
        
          String: the detail message | 
      
cause | 
        
          Throwable: the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the
 getCause() method). (A null value is
 permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.) | 
      
CertPathValidatorException
public CertPathValidatorException (String msg, Throwable cause, CertPath certPath, int index)
Creates a CertPathValidatorException with the specified
 detail message, cause, certification path, and index.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
msg | 
        
          String: the detail message (or null if none) | 
      
cause | 
        
          Throwable: the cause (or null if none) | 
      
certPath | 
        
          CertPath: the certification path that was in the process of
 being validated when the error was encountered | 
      
index | 
        
          int: the index of the certificate in the certification path
 that caused the error (or -1 if not applicable). Note that
 the list of certificates in a CertPath is zero based. | 
      
| Throws | |
|---|---|
IndexOutOfBoundsException | 
          if the index is out of range
 (index < -1 || (certPath != null && index >=
 certPath.getCertificates().size())  | 
        
IllegalArgumentException | 
          if certPath is
 null and index is not -1 | 
        
CertPathValidatorException
public CertPathValidatorException (String msg, Throwable cause, CertPath certPath, int index, CertPathValidatorException.Reason reason)
Creates a CertPathValidatorException with the specified

CertPathValidatorException
public CertPathValidatorException (Throwable cause)
Creates a CertPathValidatorException that wraps the
 specified throwable. This allows any exception to be converted into a
 CertPathValidatorException, while retaining information
 about the wrapped exception, which may be useful for debugging. The
 detail message is set to (cause==null ? null : cause.toString())
 (which typically contains the class and detail message of
 cause).
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
cause | 
        
          Throwable: the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the
 getCause() method). (A null value is
 permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.) | 
      
Public methods
getCertPath
public CertPath getCertPath ()
Returns the certification path that was being validated when the exception was thrown.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
CertPath | 
        the CertPath that was being validated when
 the exception was thrown (or null if not specified) | 
      
getIndex
public int getIndex ()
Returns the index of the certificate in the certification path
 that caused the exception to be thrown. Note that the list of
 certificates in a CertPath is zero based. If no
 index has been set, -1 is returned.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
int | 
        the index that has been set, or -1 if none has been set | 
getReason
public CertPathValidatorException.Reason getReason ()
Returns the reason that the validation failed. The reason is
 associated with the index of the certificate returned by
 getIndex().
| Returns | |
|---|---|
CertPathValidatorException.Reason | 
        the reason that the validation failed, or
    BasicReason.UNSPECIFIED if a reason has not been
    specified |
