intern

public static X509CertImpl intern(java.security.cert.X509Certificate c)
                           throws java.security.cert.CertificateException

Return an interned X509CertImpl for the given certificate. If the given X509Certificate or X509CertImpl is already present in the cert cache, the cached object is returned. Otherwise, if it is a X509Certificate, it is first converted to a X509CertImpl. Then the X509CertImpl is added to the cache and returned. Note that all certificates created via generateCertificate(InputStream) are already interned and this method does not need to be called. It is useful for certificates that cannot be created via generateCertificate() and for converting other X509Certificate implementations to an X509CertImpl.

Throws:

java.security.cert.CertificateException

intern

public static X509CRLImpl intern(java.security.cert.X509CRL c)
                          throws java.security.cert.CRLException

Throws:
