Provider Values Method in Java

The property values in the Provider can be viewed with an unmodifiable Collection view that is obtained using the method values() in the class java.security.Provider. This method requires no parameters and it returns an unmodifiable Collection view of the property values.

A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.security.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
      try {
         Signature sign = Signature.getInstance("DSA");
         Provider p = sign.getProvider();
         Collection<Object> val = p.values();
         Iterator i = val.iterator();
         System.out.println("The unmodifiable Collection view is: \n");
         int x = 30;
         while (x > 0) {
            System.out.println(i.next());
            x--;
         }
      } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
         System.out.println("Error!!! NoSuchAlgorithmException");
      }
   }
}

Output

The unmodifiable Collection view is:
