Class CertPathBuilderException

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable
    public class CertPathBuilderException
extends GeneralSecurityException
    An exception indicating one of a variety of problems encountered when building a certification path with a CertPathBuilder.

    A CertPathBuilderException provides support for wrapping exceptions. The getCause method returns the throwable, if any, that caused this exception to be thrown.

    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.

        public CertPathBuilderException​(String msg)

      • CertPathBuilderException

        public CertPathBuilderException​(Throwable cause)
        Creates a CertPathBuilderException that wraps the specified throwable. This allows any exception to be converted into a CertPathBuilderException, 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 - 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.)
