javax
extension. Almost all the classes are
abstract, and the only implemented methods are static methods used to
obtain the default implementation.
One exception to this rule are the classes in
javax.security.cert
, which implement X509Certificates
using the java.security.cert
classes. This last package
is in JDK since Java 2.
Thus, adding the javax.security.cert
classes to the
classpath of your application requires jdk 1.2. However, some
applications (i.e. Hotjava) provide their own
javax.security.cert
. If this is the case, the default
implementation of this package (ITISSL) will work without jdk 1.2
