This class represents the successful result of the PKIX certification path builder algorithm. All certification paths that are built and returned using this algorithm are also validated according to the PKIX certification path validation algorithm.
Instances of {@code PKIXCertPathBuilderResult} are returned bythe {@code build} method of {@code CertPathBuilder}objects implementing the PKIX algorithm.
All {@code PKIXCertPathBuilderResult} objects contain thecertification path constructed by the build algorithm, the valid policy tree and subject public key resulting from the build algorithm, and a {@code TrustAnchor} describing the certificationauthority (CA) that served as a trust anchor for the certification path.
Concurrent Access
Unless otherwise specified, the methods defined in this class are not thread-safe. Multiple threads that need to access a single object concurrently should synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking. Multiple threads each manipulating separate objects need not synchronize.
