Hi Oleg,
Thanks for the response. I have one more question. When creating an
SSLClientIOEventDispatch(.. , .. , .. ,..) it gets an SSLIOSessionHandler
which has a *verify(SocketAddress remoteAddress, SSLSession
session)*method. I am planning to add my OCSP/CRL feature here. This
method is
called by *doHandshake()* method in *SSLIOSession*. My question is, at the
point where the *verify()* method is called, will the JSSE trust manager
already has checked whether at least one certificate in the chain is
trusted? If so I can assume at this point, the entire chain is trusted, so
that I can do the OCSP/CRL verification here.
Thanks again,
Jeewantha
