public final class MemoryDB

extends Provider

This class implements a database service provider that stores entries in memory. The application can supply the Vector objects used by the database, or the database can create temporary Vector objects. Databases of this type can be useful in caching, or in processing lists of certificates, CRLs, or private keys returned by other Cert-J methods. The stored copy of the private key is not encrypted.

Method Detail

instantiate

public ProviderImplementation instantiate(CertJ certJ)
                                   throws ProviderManagementException

Creates a ProviderImplementation object that handles in-memory database SPI methods. This method is called by CertJ.registerService when an object of the MemoryDB class is being registered; applications do not have to call this method.

Overrides

Parameters

certJ

A CertJ object for which the created provider is registered.

Returns

A ProviderImplementation object that handles the in-memory database SPI implementations.
