Interface CertTestlet

All Superinterfaces:

ExtensionTestlet

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface CertTestlet
extends ExtensionTestlet

CertTestlet is the interface that every certificate extension testlet must implement.

For each certificate chain that is validated, the init() method is called once. For each certificate in the chain, the ExtensionTester calls the methods notify, validate, and reset in this order.

notify() is called only if the extension for which the testlet is registered is found in the certificate.

The dataContainer passed to every method can be used to store data that the certificate extension testlet uses to validate the certificate.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	init(X509Certificate[] chain, TestletDataSet dataSet) Initializes the certificate extension testlet when a new certificate chain is to be validated.
void	validate(X509Certificate cert, TestletDataSet dataSet) Validates the certificate based on the certificate extensions found in this, or previous, certificates.

Method Detail

init

void init(X509Certificate[] chain,
          TestletDataSet dataSet)

Initializes the certificate extension testlet when a new certificate chain is to be validated.

Parameters:

chain - the certificate chain to be validated

dataSet - a set in which the testlet can store temporary data for validation

validate

void validate(X509Certificate cert,
              TestletDataSet dataSet)
       throws ExtensionException

Validates the certificate based on the certificate extensions found in this, or previous, certificates.

Parameters:

cert - the certificate to validate

dataSet - a set in which the testlet can store temporary data for validation

Throws:

ExtensionException - thrown if validation fails
