/**
 * The <i>Service Provider Interface</i> (<b>SPI</b>) 
 * for the {@link CertPathBuilder CertPathBuilder} class. All 
 * <code>CertPathBuilder</code> implementations must include a class (the 
 * SPI class) that extends this class (<code>CertPathBuilderSpi</code>) and 
 * implements all of its methods. In general, instances of this class should 
 * only be accessed through the <code>CertPathBuilder</code> class. For 
 * details, see the Java Cryptography Architecture. 
 * <p>
 * <b>Concurrent Access</b>
 * <p>
 * Instances of this class need not be protected against concurrent
 * access from multiple threads. Threads that need to access a single
 * <code>CertPathBuilderSpi</code> instance concurrently should synchronize
 * amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking before calling the
 * wrapping <code>CertPathBuilder</code> object.
 * <p>
 * However, implementations of <code>CertPathBuilderSpi</code> may still
 * encounter concurrency issues, since multiple threads each
 * manipulating a different <code>CertPathBuilderSpi</code> instance need not
 * synchronize.
