public class DERUniversalString
extends ASN1Primitive
implements ASN1String

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 Summary
DERUniversalString(byte[] string)
          Basic constructor - byte encoded string.
 
Method Summary

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)
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)
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.

getString

public java.lang.String getString()
Description copied from interface: ASN1String
Return a Java String representation of this STRING type's content.

Specified by:
getString in interface ASN1String
Returns:
a Java String representation of this STRING.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

getOctets

public byte[] getOctets()

hashCode
