      public class CertPathBuilderException
      extends GeneralSecurityException

  An exception indicating one of a variety of problems encountered when building a certification path with a `CertPathBuilder`.

  A `CertPathBuilderException` provides support for wrapping exceptions. The `getCause` method returns the throwable, if any, that caused this exception to be thrown.

  Concurrent Access

  Unless otherwise specified, the methods defined in this class are not thread-safe. Multiple threads that need to access a single object concurrently should synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking. Multiple threads each manipulating separate objects need not synchronize.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### CertPathBuilderException

          public CertPathBuilderException()

      Creates a `CertPathBuilderException` with `null` as its detail message.

    - #### CertPathBuilderException

          public CertPathBuilderException(String msg)

      Creates a `CertPathBuilderException` with the given detail message. The detail message is a `String` that describes this particular exception in more detail.
      Parameters:
        `msg` - the detail message

    - #### CertPathBuilderException

          public CertPathBuilderException(Throwable cause)

      Creates a `CertPathBuilderException` that wraps the specified throwable. This allows any exception to be converted into a `CertPathBuilderException`, while retaining information about the wrapped exception, which may be useful for debugging. The detail message is set to (`cause==null ? null : cause.toString()`) (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause).
      Parameters:
        `cause` - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)

    - #### CertPathBuilderException

          public CertPathBuilderException(String msg,
                                          Throwable cause)

      Creates a `CertPathBuilderException` with the specified detail message and cause.
      Parameters:
        `msg` - the detail message
        `cause` - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
