Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition

Name

CertPathValidatorResult

Synopsis

This marker interface defines the type of the object returned by the validate( ) method of a CertPathValidator, but does not define any of the contents of that object, other to specify that it must be Cloneable. If you want any details about the results of validating a CertPath, you must cast the return value of validate( ) to an algorithm-specific types implementation of this interface, such as PKIXCertPathValidatorResult.
