Inherited Methods

From class java.lang.Object

Object	clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object.
boolean	equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
void	finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
final Class<?>	getClass() Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
int	hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object.
final void	notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
final void	notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
String	toString() Returns a string representation of the object.
final void	wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object.
final void	wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
final void	wait(long timeout) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.

Public Methods

public static synchronized ProviderList beginThreadProviderList (ProviderList list)

Methods to manipulate the thread local provider list. It is for use by JAR verification (see above) and the SunJSSE FIPS mode only. It should be used as follows: ProviderList list = ...; ProviderList oldList = Providers.beginThreadProviderList(list); try { // code that needs thread local provider list } finally { Providers.endThreadProviderList(oldList); }

public static synchronized void endThreadProviderList (ProviderList list)

public static synchronized ProviderList getFullProviderList ()

Get the full provider list with invalid providers (those that could not be loaded) removed. This is the list we need to present to applications.

public static ProviderList getProviderList ()

Return the current ProviderList. If the thread-local list is set, it is returned. Otherwise, the system wide list is returned.

public static Provider getSunProvider ()

public static ProviderList getThreadProviderList ()

public static void setProviderList (ProviderList newList)

Set the current ProviderList. Affects the thread-local list if set, otherwise the system wide list.

public static Object startJarVerification ()

Start JAR verification. This sets a special provider list for the current thread. You MUST save the return value from this method and you MUST call stopJarVerification() with that object once you are done.

public static void stopJarVerification (Object obj)

Stop JAR verification. Call once you have completed JAR verification.
