Bouncycastle: X509CertificateHolder to X509Certificate?

In versions prior to r146 it was possible to create X509Certificate objects directly. Now that API is deprecated and the new one only deliveres a X509CertificateHolder object.

I cannot find a way to transform a X509CertificateHolder to X509Certificate.

How can this be done?

Solution

  • I will answer to my own questions, but not delete it, in case someone else got the same problems:

    return new JcaX509CertificateConverter().getCertificate(certificateHolder);

    And for attribute certificates:

    return new X509V2AttributeCertificate(attributeCertificateHolder.getEncoded());

    Not nice, as it is encoding and decoding, but it works.
