Enum Class PKIXReason

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<PKIXReason>

java.security.cert.PKIXReason

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable, Comparable<PKIXReason>, Constable, CertPathValidatorException.Reason

public enum PKIXReason extends Enum<PKIXReason> implements CertPathValidatorException.Reason

The PKIXReason enumerates the potential PKIX-specific reasons that an X.509 certification path may be invalid according to the PKIX (RFC 5280) standard. These reasons are in addition to those of the CertPathValidatorException.BasicReason enumeration.

Since:: 1.7

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static PKIXReason`	`valueOf(String name)`	Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name.
`static PKIXReason[]`	`values()`	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Methods declared in class Enum

clone, compareTo, describeConstable, equals, finalize, getDeclaringClass, hashCode, name, ordinal, toString, valueOf

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`protected final Object`	`clone()`	Throws CloneNotSupportedException.
`final int`	`compareTo(PKIXReason o)`	Compares this enum with the specified object for order.
`final Optional<Enum.EnumDesc<PKIXReason>>`	`describeConstable()`	Returns an enum descriptor `EnumDesc` for this instance, if one can be constructed, or an empty `Optional` if one cannot be.
`final boolean`	`equals(Object other)`	Returns true if the specified object is equal to this enum constant.
`protected final void`	`finalize()`	Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version. Finalization has been deprecated for removal.
`final Class<PKIXReason>`	`getDeclaringClass()`	Returns the Class object corresponding to this enum constant's enum type.
`final int`	`hashCode()`	Returns a hash code for this enum constant.
`final String`	`name()`	Returns the name of this enum constant, exactly as declared in its enum declaration.
`final int`	`ordinal()`	Returns the ordinal of this enumeration constant (its position in its enum declaration, where the initial constant is assigned an ordinal of zero).
`String`	`toString()`	Returns the name of this enum constant, as contained in the declaration.
`static <T extends Enum<T>> T`	`valueOf(Class<T> enumClass, String name)`	Returns the enum constant of the specified enum class with the specified name.

Methods declared in class Object

getClass, notify, notifyAll, wait, wait, wait

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()`	Returns the runtime class of 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.
