Java - Security - Retrieving CRL data from a certificate

Question

Purpose : To obtain information on the certificate revocation list for this certificate.

Reason . When an object is java.security.cert.PKIXParametersinstalled to enable verification of certificate revocation status through PKIXParameters#setRevocationEnabled(true);, it uses an instance sun.security.provider.certpath.CrlRevocationChecker . This check requires a call PKIXParameters#addCertStore(...)that adds a java.security.cert.CertStorecontaining an implementation X509CRLthat contains CRL information that validation can check.

Question . Is there a library or implementation to extract this data? or does it need to be done manually? (example guide below). The library will most likely support all possible types of connections / exceptions / errors that may occur, while a manual solution should work to bring it in line with corporate standards.

The certificate can be in any of these x509 certificate wrappers

java.security.cert.X509Certificate
org.bouncycastle.cert.X509CertificateHolder
org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.X509CertificateObject

Java code to get CRL data manually

static List<X509CRLObject> getCRLSFromCertPath(CertPath certPath, CertificateFactory certificateFactory) {
        List<X509CRLObject> x509CRLs = Lists.newArrayList();
        List<? extends Certificate> certificates = certPath.getCertificates();
        for (Certificate certificate : certificates) {
            try {
                X509CertImpl x509Cert = new X509CertImpl(certificate.getEncoded());
                CRLDistributionPointsExtension crlDistroExten = x509Cert.getCRLDistributionPointsExtension();
                if (crlDistroExten != null) {
                    ArrayList<DistributionPoint> distros = (ArrayList<DistributionPoint>) crlDistroExten.get(CRLDistributionPointsExtension.POINTS);
                    for (DistributionPoint distributionPoint : distros) {
                        GeneralNames distroName = distributionPoint.getFullName();
                        for (int i = 0; i < distroName.size(); ++i) {
                            URI uri = ((URIName) distroName.get(i).getName()).getURI();
                            InputStream inputStream = new URL(uri.toString()).openConnection().getInputStream();
                            X509CRLObject x509CRL = (X509CRLObject) certificateFactory.generateCRL(inputStream);
                            x509CRLs.add(x509CRL);
                            inputStream.close(); // Move this somewhere better
                        }
                    }
                }
            } catch (CertificateException | IOException | CRLException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (RuntimeException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        return x509CRLs;
    }
