Class w3c.www.dsig.CertFormatRegistry 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----w3c.www.dsig.CertFormatRegistry
public final class CertFormatRegistry
extends Object
The CertFormatRegistry class maintains a database of the certificate formats installed on the system. Classes implementing a certificate format follow the standard java.security.Certificate API.

Variable Index

o PGPURL
The URL defined to indentify the PGP certificate format.
o X509URL
The URL defined to indentify the X.509 certificate format.

Method Index

o addFormat(String, Class)
Add a new certificate format, identified via name, implemented by the class clazz.
o formats()
Return an enumeration with the URL names of the currently installed certificate formats.
o getImplementor(String)
Return the Class object of the class implementing the certificate format name.
o getInstance(String)
Get an instance of a class implementing the certificate format name.
o isInstalled(String)
Find out if the specified certificate format is installed in the registry.
o printFormats()
Print the list of currently installed certificate formats and the names of the classes that implement them on stdout.
o removeFormat(String)
Remove the named certificate format from the registry.
o size()
Return the number of installed certificate formats.

Variables

o X509URL 
 public static final String X509URL
The URL defined to indentify the X.509 certificate format. Currently this is http://www.w3.org/PICS/DSig/X509-1_0.html, but note that this might change in the future as this variable will always hold the URL of the latest version of the DSig X.509 specification!

o PGPURL 
 public static final String PGPURL
The URL defined to indentify the PGP certificate format. Currently this is http://www.w3.org/PICS/DSig/pgpcert-1_0.html, but note that this might change in the future as this variable will always hold the URL of the latest version of the DSig PGP specification!

Methods

o size 
 public static int size()
Return the number of installed certificate formats.

o formats 
 public static Enumeration formats()
Return an enumeration with the URL names of the currently installed certificate formats.

o printFormats 
 public static void printFormats()
Print the list of currently installed certificate formats and the names of the classes that implement them on stdout.

o addFormat 
 public static boolean addFormat(String name,
                                 Class clazz)
Add a new certificate format, identified via name, implemented by the class clazz. The class represented by clazz must implement the java.security.Certificate interface. Returns true is successful, false otherwise (algorithm already present)

o isInstalled 
 public static boolean isInstalled(String name)
Find out if the specified certificate format is installed in the registry.

o removeFormat 
 public static boolean removeFormat(String name)
Remove the named certificate format from the registry. Returns true if successful, false if the algorithm was not installed.

o getInstance 
 public static Certificate getInstance(String name) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
Get an instance of a class implementing the certificate format name. Name is the URL identifying the algorithm.

Throws: NoSuchAlgorithmException
if the format is not installed.
o getImplementor 
 public static Class getImplementor(String name) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
Return the Class object of the class implementing the certificate format name.

Throws: NoSuchAlgorithmException
if the format is not installed.
