Constructor Detail

DERPrintableString

public DERPrintableString(String string)

basic constructor - this does not validate the string

DERPrintableString

public DERPrintableString(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 a PrintableString.

Method Detail

getInstance

public static DERPrintableString getInstance(Object obj)

return a printable string from the passed in object.

Parameters:

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

Returns:

a DERPrintableString instance, or null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be converted.

getInstance

public static DERPrintableString getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj,
                                             boolean explicit)

return a Printable 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 DERPrintableString instance, or null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the tagged object cannot be converted.

getString

public String getString()

Specified by:

getString in interface ASN1String

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)

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.

isPrintableString

public static boolean isPrintableString(String str)

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

Returns:

true if in printable set, false otherwise.
