Constructor Summary

AccessConstructor and Description
public
Time(ASN1Primitive time)

public
Time(Date
a date object representing the time of interest.
time)

Creates a time object from a given date - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used.

public
Time(Date
a date object representing the time of interest.
time, Locale
an appropriate Locale for producing an ASN.1 GeneralizedTime value.
locale)

Creates a time object from a given date and locale - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used.

public Time(ASN1Primitive time)

public Time(Date time)

Creates a time object from a given date - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used.

Parameters
time:Date

a date object representing the time of interest.

Timeback to summary
public Time(Date time, Locale locale)

Creates a time object from a given date and locale - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used. You may need to use this constructor if the default locale doesn't use a Gregorian calender so that the GeneralizedTime produced is compatible with other ASN.1 implementations.

Parameters
time:Date

a date object representing the time of interest.

locale:Locale

an appropriate Locale for producing an ASN.1 GeneralizedTime value.

a primitive representation of this object.

public String toString()

Overrides java.lang.Object.toString.

Doc from java.lang.Object.toString.

Returns a string representation of the object. Satisfying this method's contract implies a non-null result must be returned.

Returns:String

a string representation of the object
