/**

|
* A specification of {@code CertStore} parameters.
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* The purpose of this interface is to group (and provide type safety for)
|
|
* all {@code CertStore} parameter specifications. All
|
|
* {@code CertStore} parameter specifications must implement this
|
|
* interface.
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* Typically, a {@code CertStoreParameters} object is passed as a parameter
|
|
* to one of the {@link CertStore#getInstance CertStore.getInstance} methods.
|
|
* The {@code getInstance} method returns a {@code CertStore} that
|
|
* is used for retrieving {@code Certificate}s and {@code CRL}s. The
|
|
* {@code CertStore} that is returned is initialized with the specified
|
|
* parameters. The type of parameters needed may vary between different types
|
|
* of {@code CertStore}s.

/**
|
|
* Makes a copy of this {@code CertStoreParameters}.
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* The precise meaning of "copy" may depend on the class of
|
|
* the {@code CertStoreParameters} object. A typical implementation
|
|
* performs a "deep copy" of this object, but this is not an absolute
|
|
* requirement. Some implementations may perform a "shallow copy" of some
|
|
* or all of the fields of this object.
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* Note that the {@code CertStore.getInstance} methods make a copy
|
|
* of the specified {@code CertStoreParameters}. A deep copy
|
|
* implementation of {@code clone} is safer and more robust, as it
|
|
* prevents the caller from corrupting a shared {@code CertStore} by
|
|
* subsequently modifying the contents of its initialization parameters.
|
|
* However, a shallow copy implementation of {@code clone} is more
|
|
* appropriate for applications that need to hold a reference to a
|
|
* parameter contained in the {@code CertStoreParameters}. For example,
|
|
* a shallow copy clone allows an application to release the resources of
|
|
* a particular {@code CertStore} initialization parameter immediately,
|
|
* rather than waiting for the garbage collection mechanism. This should
|
|
* be done with the utmost care, since the {@code CertStore} may still
|
|
* be in use by other threads.
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* Each subclass should state the precise behavior of this method so
|
|
* that users and developers know what to expect.
|
|
*
|
|
* @return a copy of this {@code CertStoreParameters}
