All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class PkiException
extends PbaException

This class represents a PKI exception condition. It is thrown by the PKI routines when they are used by the PBA API, and are simply propagated to the caller.

Example:
try{
...
}catch(PbaException pe){
...
}

in this example the caller does not care if it was an error caused by the PKI or not. It just performs some simple routine error-handling.

Example:
try{
...
}catch(PkiException pe){
... // PKI-specific error-handling here
}catch(PbaException pe){
...
}

however, in this example the caller distinguishes between PKI errors and the other kinds of errors. It now can handle the PKI errors in a different way.
