Constructor Detail

DERIA5String

public DERIA5String(java.lang.String string)

basic constructor - without validation.

Parameters:

string - the base string to use..

DERIA5String

public DERIA5String(java.lang.String string,
            boolean validate)

Constructor with optional validation.

Parameters:

string - the base string to wrap.

validate - whether or not to check the string.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if validate is true and the string contains characters that should not be in an IA5String.

Method Detail

getInstance

public static DERIA5String getInstance(java.lang.Object obj)

return a IA5 string from the passed in object

Parameters:

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

Returns:

a DERIA5String instance, or null.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be converted.

getInstance

public static DERIA5String getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj,
                       boolean explicit)

return an IA5 String 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.

Returns:

a DERIA5String instance, or null.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the tagged object cannot be converted.

getString

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in class ASN1Primitive

isIA5String

public static boolean isIA5String(java.lang.String str)

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

Parameters:

str - the string to check.

Returns:

true if character set in IA5String set, false otherwise.
