+/**
+ * This interface represents a CRL publisher that is
+ * invoked when CRL publishing is requested by CMS.
+ * Note that CMS, by default, shipped with a LDAP-based
+ * CRL publisher that can be configured via
+ * Certificiate Manager/LDAP Publishing panel. This
+ * interface provides administrator additional capability
+ * of publishing CRL to different destinations.
+ *
+ * The CRL publishing frequency is configured via
+ * Netscape Certificate Server Console's
+ * Certificate Manager/Revocation List panel.
+ * The CRL publishing may occur either everytime a
+ * certificate is revoked or at a pre-defined interval.
+ *
+ * To try out this new CRL publisher mechanism, do
+ * the following:
+ * (1) Write a sample CRL publisher class that implements
+ * ICRLPublisher interface. For example,
+ *
+ * <code>
+ * public class CRLPublisher implements ICRLPublisher
+ * {
+ * public void init(ISubsystem owner, IConfigStore config)
+ * throws EBaseException
+ * {
+ * log(ILogger.LL_DEBUG, "CRLPublisher: Initialized");
+ * }
+ *
+ * public void publish(String issuingPointId, X509CRLImpl crl)
+ * throws EBaseException
+ * {
+ * log(ILogger.LL_DEBUG, "CRLPublisher: " + issuingPointId +
+ * " crl=" + crl);
+ * }
+ *
+ * public void log(int level, String msg)
+ * {
+ * Logger.getLogger().log(ILogger.EV_SYSTEM,
+ * null, ILogger.S_OTHER, level,
+ * msg);
+ * }
+ * }
+ * </code>
+ *
+ * (2) Compile the class and place the class into
+ * <server-root>\bin\cert\classes directory.
+ * (3) Add the following parameter to CMS.cfg
+ * ca.crlPublisher.class=<implementation class>
+ * For example,
+ * ca.crlPublisher.class=myCRLPublisher
+ *
+ * @version $Revision$, $Date$
+ */
+public interface ICRLPublisher {
+
+ /**
+ * Initializes this CRL publisher.
+ *
+ * @param owner parent of the publisher. An object of type
+ * CertificateAuthority.
+ * @param config config store for this publisher. If this
+ * publisher requires configuration parameters for
+ * initialization, the parameters should be placed
+ * in CMS.cfg as ca.crlPublisher.<paramType>=<paramValue>
+ * @exception EBaseException failed to initialize this publisher
