Constructor Details

DERIA5String

public DERIA5String(String string)

Basic constructor - without validation.

Parameters:

string - the base string to use..

DERIA5String

public DERIA5String(String string,
 boolean validate)

Constructor with optional validation.

Parameters:

string - the base string to wrap.

validate - whether or not to check the string.

Throws:

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

Method Details

getInstance

public static DERIA5String getInstance(Object obj)

Deprecated.

Use ASN1IA5String.getInstance(Object) instead.

Return an 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:

IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be converted.

getInstance

public static DERIA5String getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj,
 boolean explicit)

Deprecated.

Use ASN1IA5String.getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject, boolean) instead.

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:

IllegalArgumentException - if the tagged object cannot be converted.
