Basic constructor

Method Detail

getInstance

public static DERUTF8String getInstance(Object obj)

Return an UTF8 string from the passed in object.

Parameters:

obj - a DERUTF8String or an object that can be converted into one.

Returns:

a DERUTF8String instance, or null

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be converted.

getInstance

public static DERUTF8String getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj,
                                        boolean explicit)

Return an UTF8 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 DERUTF8String 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.

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.
