public abstract class ASN1TaggedObject
extends ASN1Primitive
implements ASN1TaggedObjectParser
ASN.1 TaggedObject - in ASN.1 notation this is any object preceded by a [n] where n is some number - these are assumed to follow the construction rules (as with sequences).

  • Constructor Details

    • ASN1TaggedObject

      public ASN1TaggedObject​(boolean explicit, int tagNo, ASN1Encodable obj)
      Create a tagged object with the style given by the value of explicit.

      If the object implements ASN1Choice the tag style will always be changed to explicit in accordance with the ASN.1 encoding rules.

      Parameters:
      explicit - true if the object is explicitly tagged.
      tagNo - the tag number for this object.
      obj - the tagged object.

  • Method Details

    • getInstance

      public static ASN1TaggedObject getInstance​(ASN1TaggedObject obj, boolean explicit)

    • getInstance

      public static ASN1TaggedObject getInstance​(Object obj)

    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Description copied from class: Object
      Returns an integer hash code for this object. By contract, any two objects for which Object.equals(java.lang.Object) returns true must return the same hash code value. This means that subclasses of Object usually override both methods or neither method.

      Note that hash values must not change over time unless information used in equals comparisons also changes.

      See Writing a correct hashCode method if you intend implementing your own hashCode method.

      Specified by:
      hashCode in class ASN1Primitive
      Returns:
      this object's hash code.
      See Also:
      Object.equals(java.lang.Object)

    • getTagNo

      public int getTagNo()
      Specified by:
      getTagNo in interface ASN1TaggedObjectParser

    • isExplicit

      public boolean isExplicit()
      return whether or not the object may be explicitly tagged.

      Note: if the object has been read from an input stream, the only time you can be sure if isExplicit is returning the true state of affairs is if it returns false. An implicitly tagged object may appear to be explicitly tagged, so you need to understand the context under which the reading was done as well, see getObject below.

    • isEmpty

      public boolean isEmpty()

    • getObject

      public ASN1Primitive getObject()
      return whatever was following the tag.

      Note: tagged objects are generally context dependent if you're trying to extract a tagged object you should be going via the appropriate getInstance method.

    • getObjectParser

      public ASN1Encodable getObjectParser​(int tag, boolean isExplicit)
      Return the object held in this tagged object as a parser assuming it has the type of the passed in tag. If the object doesn't have a parser associated with it, the base object is returned.
      Specified by:
      getObjectParser in interface ASN1TaggedObjectParser

    • getLoadedObject

      public ASN1Primitive getLoadedObject()
      Specified by:
      getLoadedObject in interface InMemoryRepresentable

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Description copied from class: Object
      Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide an implementation that takes into account the object's type and data. The default implementation is equivalent to the following expression: 
         getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

      See Writing a useful toString method if you intend implementing your own toString method.

      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
      Returns:
      a printable representation of this object.
