Class DERGeneralizedTime

java.lang.Object
org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Object
org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive
org.bouncycastle.asn1.DERGeneralizedTime
All Implemented Interfaces:
ASN1Encodable
Direct Known Subclasses:
ASN1GeneralizedTime
public class DERGeneralizedTime
extends ASN1Primitive
Generalized time object.

  • Constructor Details

    • DERGeneralizedTime

      public DERGeneralizedTime​(String time)
      The correct format for this is YYYYMMDDHHMMSS[.f]Z, or without the Z for local time, or Z+-HHMM on the end, for difference between local time and UTC time. The fractional second amount f must consist of at least one number with trailing zeroes removed.
      Parameters:
      time - the time string.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if String is an illegal format.

    • DERGeneralizedTime

      public DERGeneralizedTime​(Date time)
      base constructor from a java.util.date object

  • Method Details

    • getInstance

      public static ASN1GeneralizedTime getInstance​(Object obj)
      return a generalized time from the passed in object
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be converted.

    • getInstance

      public static ASN1GeneralizedTime getInstance​(ASN1TaggedObject obj, boolean explicit)
      return a Generalized Time object from a tagged object.
      Parameters:
      obj - the tagged object holding the object we want
      explicit - true if the object is meant to be explicitly tagged false otherwise.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the tagged object cannot be converted.

    • getTimeString

      public String getTimeString()
      Return the time.
      Returns:
      The time string as it appeared in the encoded object.

    • getTime

      public String getTime()
      return the time - always in the form of YYYYMMDDhhmmssGMT(+hh:mm|-hh:mm).

      Normally in a certificate we would expect "Z" rather than "GMT", however adding the "GMT" means we can just use: 

           dateF = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmssz");
      To read in the time and get a date which is compatible with our local time zone.

    • getDate

      public Date getDate() throws ParseException
      Throws:
      ParseException

    • 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.
