CredentialStoreFactory (VMware vSphere Web Services SDK JAXWS Java Samples Documentation)

java.lang.Object
- com.vmware.security.credstore.CredentialStoreFactory

```
public class CredentialStoreFactory
extends java.lang.Object
```
Factory class providing instances of a {linkplain CredentialStore credential store}.

If the file backing a credential store does not already exist, it is created on the first call to CredentialStore.addPassword(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String). If the default file is being used, its directory will also be created if necessary.

Each method of the returned credential store acquires a lock on the store for the duration of the method call, blocking if necessary to do so. The implementation may time out (throwing IOException) if the lock cannot be acquired within a reasonable amount of time, on the order of a minute. Locks are acquired on behalf of the entire Java virtual machine, not just the current thread.

The methods in this class may be invoked concurrently by multiple threads.
