Constructor Detail

DERIA5String

public DERIA5String(String string)

basic constructor - without validation.

Parameters:

string - the base string to use..

DERIA5String

public DERIA5String(String string,
                    boolean validate)

Constructor with optional validation.

Parameters:

string - the base string to wrap.

validate - whether or not to check the string.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if validate is true and the string contains characters that should not be in an IA5String.

Method Detail

getInstance

public static DERIA5String getInstance(Object obj)

return a IA5 string from the passed in object

Parameters:

obj - a DERIA5String or an object that can be converted into one.

Returns:

a DERIA5String instance, or null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be converted.

getInstance

public static DERIA5String getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj,
                                       boolean explicit)

return an IA5 String from a tagged object.

Parameters:

obj - the tagged object holding the object we want

explicit - true if the object is meant to be explicitly tagged false otherwise.

Returns:

a DERIA5String instance, or null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the tagged object cannot be converted.

getString

public String getString()

Specified by:

getString in interface ASN1String

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Object

Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide an implementation that takes into account the object's type and data. The default implementation is equivalent to the following expression:

   getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

See Writing a useful toString method if you intend implementing your own toString method.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a printable representation of this object.

getOctets

public byte[] getOctets()

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from class: Object

Returns an integer hash code for this object. By contract, any two objects for which Object.equals(java.lang.Object) returns true must return the same hash code value. This means that subclasses of Object usually override both methods or neither method.

Note that hash values must not change over time unless information used in equals comparisons also changes.

See Writing a correct hashCode method if you intend implementing your own hashCode method.

Specified by:

hashCode in class ASN1Primitive

Returns:

this object's hash code.

Object.equals(java.lang.Object)

isIA5String

public static boolean isIA5String(String str)

return true if the passed in String can be represented without loss as an IA5String, false otherwise.

Parameters:

str - the string to check.

Returns:

true if character set in IA5String set, false otherwise.
