equalsback to summary
public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Object.equals.

test for equality - note: case is ignored.

Parameters
obj:Object

Doc from java.lang.Object.equals.

the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:boolean

Doc from java.lang.Object.equals.

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

Returns:ASN1ObjectIdentifier[]

an array, possibly zero length, of ASN1ObjectIdentifiers objects.

public static X500NameStyle getDefaultStyle()

Return the current default style.

Returns:X500NameStyle

Parameters
obj:ASN1TaggedObject

tag object holding name.

explicit:boolean

getRDNsback to summary
public RDN[] getRDNs(ASN1ObjectIdentifier attributeType)

return an array of RDNs containing the attribute type given by OID in structure order.

Parameters
attributeType:ASN1ObjectIdentifier

the type OID we are looking for.

Returns:RDN[]

an array, possibly zero length, of RDN objects.

hashCodeback to summary
public int hashCode()

Overrides org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Object.hashCode.

Doc from java.lang.Object.hashCode.

Returns a hash code value for the 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.

setDefaultStyleback to summary
public static void setDefaultStyle(X500NameStyle style)

Set the default style for X500Name construction.

Parameters
style:X500NameStyle

toASN1Primitiveback to summary
public ASN1Primitive toASN1Primitive()

Implements abstract org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Object.toASN1Primitive.

Implements org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Encodable.toASN1Primitive.

Doc from org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Object.toASN1Primitive.

Method providing a primitive representation of this object suitable for encoding.

Returns:ASN1Primitive

a primitive representation of this object.

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.
