/**
 * An immutable sequence of certificates (a certification path).
 * <p>
 * This is an abstract class that defines the methods common to all
 * <code>CertPath</code>s. Subclasses can handle different kinds of
 * certificates (X.509, PGP, etc.).
 * <p>
 * All <code>CertPath</code> objects have a type, a list of 
 * <code>Certificate</code>s, and one or more supported encodings. Because the 
 * <code>CertPath</code> class is immutable, a <code>CertPath</code> cannot 
 * change in any externally visible way after being constructed. This 
 * stipulation applies to all public fields and methods of this class and any 
 * added or overridden by subclasses.
 * <p>
 * The type is a <code>String</code> that identifies the type of
 * <code>Certificate</code>s in the certification path. For each
 * certificate <code>cert</code> in a certification path <code>certPath</code>,
 * <code>cert.getType().equals(certPath.getType())</code> must be
 * <code>true</code>.
 * <p>
 * The list of <code>Certificate</code>s is an ordered <code>List</code> of
 * zero or more <code>Certificate</code>s. This <code>List</code> and all
 * of the <code>Certificate</code>s contained in it must be immutable.
 * <p>
 * Each <code>CertPath</code> object must support one or more encodings
 * so that the object can be translated into a byte array for storage or
 * transmission to other parties. Preferably, these encodings should be
 * well-documented standards (such as PKCS#7). One of the encodings supported
 * by a <code>CertPath</code> is considered the default encoding. This
 * encoding is used if no encoding is explicitly requested (for the
 * {@link #getEncoded() getEncoded()} method, for instance).
 * <p>
 * All <code>CertPath</code> objects are also <code>Serializable</code>. 
 * <code>CertPath</code> objects are resolved into an alternate 
 * {@link CertPathRep CertPathRep} object during serialization. This allows
 * a <code>CertPath</code> object to be serialized into an equivalent
 * representation regardless of its underlying implementation.
 * <p>
 * <code>CertPath</code> objects can be created with a
 * <code>CertificateFactory</code> or they can be returned by other classes,
 * such as a <code>CertPathBuilder</code>.
 * <p>
 * By convention, X.509 <code>CertPath</code>s (consisting of
 * <code>X509Certificate</code>s), are ordered starting with the target 
 * certificate and ending with a certificate issued by the trust anchor. That 
 * is, the issuer of one certificate is the subject of the following one. The 
 * certificate representing the {@link TrustAnchor TrustAnchor} should not be 
 * included in the certification path. Unvalidated X.509 <code>CertPath</code>s 
 * may not follow these conventions. PKIX <code>CertPathValidator</code>s will 
 * detect any departure from these conventions that cause the certification 
 * path to be invalid and throw a <code>CertPathValidatorException</code>.
 * <p>
 * <b>Concurrent Access</b>
 * <p>
 * All <code>CertPath</code> objects must be thread-safe. That is, multiple
 * threads may concurrently invoke the methods defined in this class on a
 * single <code>CertPath</code> object (or more than one) with no
 * ill effects. This is also true for the <code>List</code> returned by
 * <code>CertPath.getCertificates</code>.
 * <p>
 * Requiring <code>CertPath</code> objects to be immutable and thread-safe
 * allows them to be passed around to various pieces of code without worrying
 * about coordinating access.  Providing this thread-safety is
 * generally not difficult, since the <code>CertPath</code> and
 * <code>List</code> objects in question are immutable.
