getInstance

public static DERGeneralString getInstance(Object obj)

Deprecated.

Use ASN1GeneralString.getInstance(Object) instead.

Return a GeneralString from the given object.

Parameters:

obj - the object we want converted.

Returns:

a DERBMPString instance, or null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be converted.

getInstance

public static DERGeneralString getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj,
 boolean explicit)

Deprecated.

Use ASN1GeneralString.getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject, boolean) instead.

Return a GeneralString from a tagged object.
