final void	notify()	Causes one thread which is waiting on the receiver to be made ready to run.
final void	notifyAll()	Causes all threads which are waiting on the receiver to be made ready to run.
final void	wait()	Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll).
final void	wait(long time)	Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run either pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll) or the expiration of the timeout.
final void	wait(long time, int frac)	Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run either pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll) or the expiration of the timeout.

Constructor Details

CodeSigner

public CodeSigner(CertPath signerCertPath,
 Timestamp timestamp)

Constructs a CodeSigner object.

Parameters:

signerCertPath - The signer's certificate path. It must not be null.

timestamp - A signature timestamp. If null then no timestamp was generated for the signature.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if signerCertPath is null.

Method Details

getSignerCertPath

public CertPath getSignerCertPath()

Returns the signer's certificate path.

Returns:

A certificate path.

getTimestamp

public Timestamp getTimestamp()

Returns the signature timestamp.

Returns:

The timestamp or null if none is present.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this code signer. The hash code is generated using the signer's certificate path and the timestamp, if present.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

the hash code value for this code signer

See Also:

• Object.equals(Object)

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Tests for equality between the specified object and this code signer. Two code signers are considered equal if their signer certificate paths are equal and if their timestamps are equal, if present in both.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the object to test for equality with this object.

Returns:

true if the objects are considered equal, false otherwise.

See Also:

• Object.hashCode()

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string describing this code signer.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

A string comprising the signer's certificate and a timestamp, if present.
