Modifier and Type	Method	Description
byte[]	getCertificateData(boolean reverse, X509Certificate[] certs)	get a byte array given an array of X509 certificates.
X509Certificate[]	getX509Certificates(byte[] data, boolean reverse)	Construct an array of X509Certificate's from the byte array.
boolean	validateCertPath(X509Certificate[] certs)	Overridden because there's a bug in the base class where they don't use the provider variant for the certificate validator.

Method Details

getX509Certificates

public X509Certificate[] getX509Certificates(byte[] data,
 boolean reverse)
                                      throws WSSecurityException

Construct an array of X509Certificate's from the byte array.

Parameters:

data - The byte array containg the X509 data

reverse - If set the first certificate in input data will the last in the array

Returns:

An array of X509 certificates, ordered according to the reverse flag

Throws:

WSSecurityException

getCertificateData

public byte[] getCertificateData(boolean reverse,
 X509Certificate[] certs)
                          throws WSSecurityException

get a byte array given an array of X509 certificates.

Parameters:

reverse - If set the first certificate in the array data will the last in the byte array

certs - The certificates to convert

Returns:

The byte array for the certficates ordered according to the reverse flag

Throws:

WSSecurityException

validateCertPath

public boolean validateCertPath(X509Certificate[] certs)
                         throws WSSecurityException

Overridden because there's a bug in the base class where they don't use the provider variant for the certificate validator.

Parameters:

certs - Certificate chain to validate

Returns:

true if the certificate chain is valid, false otherwise

Throws:

WSSecurityException
