Class DERT61UTF8String

java.lang.Object
  org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Object
      org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive
          org.bouncycastle.asn1.DERT61UTF8String

All Implemented Interfaces:

ASN1Encodable, ASN1String

public class DERT61UTF8String
extends ASN1Primitive
implements ASN1String

DER T61String (also the teletex string) - a "modern" encapsulation that uses UTF-8. If at all possible, avoid this one! It's only for emergencies. Use UTF8String instead.

Constructor Summary

DERT61UTF8String(byte[] string)
basic constructor - string encoded as a sequence of bytes.

DERT61UTF8String(java.lang.String string)
basic constructor - with string UTF8 conversion assumed.

Method Summary

static DERT61UTF8String	getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj, boolean explicit) return an T61 String from a tagged object.
static DERT61UTF8String	getInstance(java.lang.Object obj) return a T61 string from the passed in object.
byte[]	getOctets() Return the encoded string as a byte array.
java.lang.String	getString() Decode the encoded string and return it, UTF8 assumed.
int	hashCode()
java.lang.String	toString()

Constructor Detail

DERT61UTF8String

public DERT61UTF8String(byte[] string)

basic constructor - string encoded as a sequence of bytes.

DERT61UTF8String

public DERT61UTF8String(java.lang.String string)

basic constructor - with string UTF8 conversion assumed.

Method Detail

getInstance

public static DERT61UTF8String getInstance(java.lang.Object obj)

return a T61 string from the passed in object. UTF-8 Encoding is assumed in this case.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be converted.

getInstance

public static DERT61UTF8String getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj,
                                           boolean explicit)

return an T61 String from a tagged object. UTF-8 encoding is assumed in this case.

Parameters:

obj - the tagged object holding the object we want

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

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the tagged object cannot be converted.

getString

public java.lang.String getString()

Decode the encoded string and return it, UTF8 assumed.

Specified by:

getString in interface ASN1String

Returns:

the decoded String

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.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()

Specified by:

hashCode in class ASN1Primitive
