Class CertPathBuilderException

java.security.cert.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.

Method Summary

Methods declared in class Throwable

addSuppressed, fillInStackTrace, getCause, getLocalizedMessage, getMessage, getStackTrace, getSuppressed, initCause, printStackTrace, printStackTrace, printStackTrace, setStackTrace, toString

Modifier and Type	Method	Description

`String`	`getMessage()`	Returns the detail message string of this throwable.
`StackTraceElement[]`	`getStackTrace()`	Provides programmatic access to the stack trace information printed by `Throwable.printStackTrace()`.
`final Throwable[]`	`getSuppressed()`	Returns an array containing all of the exceptions that were suppressed, typically by the `try`-with-resources statement, in order to deliver this exception.
`Throwable`	`initCause(Throwable cause)`	Initializes the cause of this throwable to the specified value.
`void`	`printStackTrace()`	Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the standard error stream.
`void`	`printStackTrace(PrintStream s)`	Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print stream.
`void`	`printStackTrace(PrintWriter s)`	Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print writer.
`void`	`setStackTrace(StackTraceElement[] stackTrace)`	Sets the stack trace elements that will be returned by `Throwable.getStackTrace()` and printed by `Throwable.printStackTrace()` and related methods.
`String`	`toString()`	Returns a short description of this throwable.

Methods declared in class Object

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`protected Object`	`clone()`	Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)`	Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

`final Class<?>`	`getClass()`	Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()`	Returns a hash code value for this object.
`final void`	`notify()`	Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()`	Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`wait()`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

Constructor Details

CertPathBuilderException

public CertPathBuilderException()

Creates a CertPathBuilderException with null as its detail message.

CertPathBuilderException

public CertPathBuilderException(String msg)

Creates a CertPathBuilderException with the given detail message. The detail message is a String that describes this particular exception in more detail.

Parameters:: msg - the detail message

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.)

CertPathBuilderException

public CertPathBuilderException(String msg, Throwable cause)

Creates a CertPathBuilderException with the specified detail message and cause.

Parameters:: msg - the detail message; 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.)
