equals back to summary

equals	back to summary
public boolean equals(Object o) Overrides java.lang.Object.equals. Doc from java.lang.Object.equals. Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. The `equals` method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references: It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value `x`, `x.equals(x)` should return `true`. It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values `x` and `y`, `x.equals(y)` should return `true` if and only if `y.equals(x)` returns `true`. It is transitive: for any non-null reference values `x`, `y`, and `z`, if `x.equals(y)` returns `true` and `y.equals(z)` returns `true`, then `x.equals(z)` should return `true`. It is consistent: for any non-null reference values `x` and `y`, multiple invocations of `x.equals(y)` consistently return `true` or consistently return `false`, provided no information used in `equals` comparisons on the objects is modified. For any non-null reference value `x`, `x.equals(null)` should return `false`. An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes. Parameters o:Object the reference object with which to compare. Returns:boolean `true` if this object is the same as the obj argument; `false` otherwise.

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides java.lang.Object.equals.

Doc from java.lang.Object.equals.

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

Parameters

o:Object: the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:boolean

true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

getEncoded	back to summary
public byte[] getEncoded() throws IOException Implements org.bouncycastle.util.Encodable.getEncoded. Return the default BER or DER encoding for this object. Returns:byte[] BER/DER byte encoded object. Exceptions IOException: on encoding error.

getEncoded

back to summary

public byte[] getEncoded() throws IOException

Implements org.bouncycastle.util.Encodable.getEncoded.

Return the default BER or DER encoding for this object.

Returns:byte[]

BER/DER byte encoded object.

Exceptions

IOException:: on encoding error.

getEncoded	back to summary
public byte[] getEncoded(String encoding) throws IOException Return either the default for "BER" or a DER encoding if "DER" is specified. Parameters encoding:String name of encoding to use. Returns:byte[] byte encoded object. Exceptions IOException: on encoding error.

getEncoded

hasEncodedTagValue	back to summary
protected static boolean hasEncodedTagValue(Object obj, int tagValue) Return true if obj is a byte array and represents an object with the given tag value.

hasEncodedTagValue

back to summary

protected static boolean hasEncodedTagValue(Object obj, int tagValue)

Return true if obj is a byte array and represents an object with the given tag value.

Parameters

obj:Object: object of interest.
tagValue:int: tag value to check for.

Returns:boolean

true if obj is a byte encoding starting with the given tag value, false otherwise.

hashCode back to summary

hashCode	back to summary
public int hashCode() Overrides java.lang.Object.hashCode. Doc from java.lang.Object.hashCode. Returns a hash code value for this object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by `java.util.HashMap`. The general contract of `hashCode` is: Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the `hashCode` method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in `equals` comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application. If two objects are equal according to the `equals` method, then calling the `hashCode` method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result. It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the `equals` method, then calling the `hashCode` method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables. Returns:int a hash code value for this object
