Class X500RDN

java.lang.Object
oracle.security.crypto.cert.X500RDN

public class X500RDN

extends java.lang.Object

Represents an X.500 Relative Distinguished Name. This is the building block for X.500 names.

A Relative Distinguished Name consists of a set of attribute-value pairs. Typically, there is a single attribute-value pair in each Relative Distinguished Name.

for defined OIDs from the id_at arc.

Constructor Summary

X500RDN()
Creates a new Relative Distinguished Name with no entries.

X500RDN(ASN1ObjectID type, ASN1Object value)
Creates a new Relative Distinguished Name with exactly one entry.

X500RDN(java.io.InputStream is)
Creates a new Relative Distinguished Name by reading its BER encoding from the given input stream.

Constructor Detail

X500RDN

public X500RDN()

Creates a new Relative Distinguished Name with no entries.

X500RDN

public X500RDN(ASN1ObjectID type,
               ASN1Object value)

Creates a new Relative Distinguished Name with exactly one entry.

        throws java.io.IOException

Creates a new Relative Distinguished Name by reading its BER encoding from the given input stream.

Method Detail

addAttribute

public void addAttribute(ASN1ObjectID type,
                         ASN1Object value)

Adds and attribute to this RDN with the given type and value.

Parameters:

type - The OID identifying the attribute's type.

value - An ASN1Object value for the attribute.

types

public java.util.Enumeration types()

getValue

public ASN1Object getValue(ASN1ObjectID type)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns the string representation of this RDN. The format is the same as returned by toASCII(), except that non-ASCII Unicode characters (that is, € and higher) are not escaped.

toASCII

public java.lang.String toASCII()

Returns this RDN representated as a sequence of printable ASCII characters. All characters are guaranteed to be in the range 32,...,127. The output is in strict conformance with RFC 2253. All control characters and special characters are escaped, as well as non-ASCII Unicode characters are first converted to UTF-8, then escaped.

input

public void input(java.io.InputStream is)
           throws java.io.IOException

Throws:

java.io.IOException

output

public void output(java.io.OutputStream os)
            throws java.io.IOException

Throws:

java.io.IOException

length

public int length()
