public class DERT61String
extends ASN1Primitive
implements ASN1String

DER T61String (also the teletex string), try not to use this if you don't need to. The standard support the encoding for this has been withdrawn.

Constructor Detail

DERT61String

public DERT61String(byte[] string)

basic constructor - string encoded as a sequence of bytes.

Parameters:

string - the byte encoding of the string to be wrapped.

DERT61String

public DERT61String(String string)

basic constructor - with string 8 bit assumed.

Parameters:

string - the string to be wrapped.

Method Detail

getInstance

public static DERT61String getInstance(Object obj)

return a T61 string from the passed in object.

Parameters:

obj - a DERT61String or an object that can be converted into one.

Returns:

a DERT61String instance, or null

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be converted.

getInstance

public static DERT61String getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj,
                                       boolean explicit)

return an T61 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 DERT61String instance, or null

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the tagged object cannot be converted.

getString

public String getString()

Decode the encoded string and return it, 8 bit encoding assumed.

Specified by:

getString in interface ASN1String

Returns:

the decoded String

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()

Return the encoded string as a byte array.

Returns:

the actual bytes making up the encoded body of the T61 string.

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.
