org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1UniversalString

org.bouncycastle.asn1.DERUniversalString

All Implemented Interfaces:

ASN1Encodable, ASN1String, Encodable

public class DERUniversalString
extends ASN1UniversalString

DER UniversalString object - encodes UNICODE (ISO 10646) characters using 32-bit format. In Java we have no way of representing this directly so we rely on byte arrays to carry these.

Constructor Detail

DERUniversalString

public DERUniversalString(byte[] string)

Basic constructor - byte encoded string.

Parameters:

string - the byte encoding of the string to be carried in the UniversalString object,

Method Detail

getInstance

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

Deprecated. Use ASN1UniversalString.getInstance(Object) instead.

Return a Universal String from the passed in object.

Parameters:

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

Returns:

a DERUniversalString instance, or null

Throws:

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

getInstance

public static DERUniversalString getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj,
                                             boolean explicit)

Deprecated. Use ASN1UniversalString.getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject, boolean) instead.

Return a Universal 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 DERUniversalString instance, or null

Throws:

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