Equality (similarity) comparison for two ASN1Primitive objects.

encodeback to summary
pack-priv void encode(ASN1OutputStream out) throws IOException

Implements abstract org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive.encode.

pack-priv int encodedLength()

Implements abstract org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive.encodedLength.

Doc from org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive.encodedLength.

Return the length of the encoding this object will produce.

the length of the object's encoding.

getInstanceback to summary
public static DERIA5String getInstance(Object obj)

Return an IA5 string from the passed in object

obj:Object

a DERIA5String or an object that can be converted into one.

Returns:DERIA5String

Exceptions
IllegalArgumentException:
if the object cannot be converted.
getInstanceback to summary
public static DERIA5String getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj, boolean explicit)

public byte[] getOctets()
getStringback to summary
public String getString()

Implements org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1String.getString.

Doc from org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1String.getString.

Return a Java String representation of this STRING type's content.

Returns:String

a Java String representation of this STRING.

hashCodeback to summary
public int hashCode()

Implements abstract org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive.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

isConstructedback to summary
pack-priv boolean isConstructed()

Implements abstract org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive.isConstructed.

Doc from org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive.isConstructed.

Return true if this objected is a CONSTRUCTED one, false otherwise.

Returns:boolean

true if CONSTRUCTED bit set on object's tag, false otherwise.

isIA5Stringback to summary
public static boolean isIA5String(String str)

return true if the passed in String can be represented without loss as an IA5String, false otherwise.

toStringback to summary
public String toString()

Overrides java.lang.Object.toString.

Doc from java.lang.Object.toString.

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns:String

a string representation of the object
