Method Detail

getValue

public byte[] getValue()

Description copied from class: Syntax

Get a byte array representation of this value. This method allows the value to be sent as an octet string value via LDAP.

Specified by:

getValue in class Syntax

Returns:

a byte[] value

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.String value)

setValue

public void setValue(byte[] value)

Description copied from class: Syntax

Set this value to the passed byte array according to appropriate rules.

Specified by:

setValue in class Syntax

Parameters:

value - a byte[] value

setValue

public void setValue(byte[] value,
                     int hashCode)

Description copied from class: Syntax

Set this value to the passed bye array according to appropriate rules. This version of the method also takes a hashCode to save computation time when it is already known.

Specified by:

setValue in class Syntax

Parameters:

value - a byte[] value

hashCode - an int value

compareTo

public int compareTo(IA5String str)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<IA5String>

compareTo

public int compareTo(Syntax val)

Description copied from class: Syntax

Compares the value in this syntax with the value in another syntax object. Returns an int less than 0 if this value is less, 0 if equal, or a value greater than 0 if this value is greater.

Specified by:

compareTo in class Syntax

Parameters:

val - a Syntax value

Returns:

an int value

startsWith

public boolean startsWith(IA5String startString)

startsWith

public boolean startsWith(Syntax val)

Description copied from class: Syntax

Determines if the specified value is at the beginning of this value. Returns true if it is, false if not or if the comparison is inappropirate.

Specified by:

startsWith in class Syntax

Parameters:

val - a Syntax value

Returns:

a boolean value

endsWith

public boolean endsWith(IA5String str)

endsWith

public boolean endsWith(Syntax val)

Description copied from class: Syntax

Checks to see if the passed value is at the end of this value. Returns true if so, false if not, or if such a comparison is inappropriate (with an int, for example).

Specified by:

endsWith in class Syntax

Parameters:

val - a Syntax value

Returns:

a boolean value

equals

public boolean equals(IA5String ds)

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

indexOf

public int indexOf(IA5String indexString)

indexOf

public int indexOf(Syntax val)

Description copied from class: Syntax

Find the first occurance of the passed syntax within this syntax.

Specified by:

indexOf in class Syntax

Parameters:

val - a Syntax value

Returns:

an int value

length

public int length()

normalize

public java.lang.String normalize()

Description copied from class: Syntax

Perform necessary steps to create an indexable String representation of this value.

Specified by:

normalize in class Syntax

Returns:

a String value

reverse

public Syntax reverse()

Description copied from class: Syntax

Returns the reverse of this string. Useful for substring final indexes.

Specified by:

reverse in class Syntax

Returns:

a Syntax value

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

validate

public void validate()
              throws com.octetstring.vde.syntax.InvalidSyntaxException

Description copied from class: Syntax

Determines if this value is in accordance to the syntax rules (if any)

Specified by:

validate in class Syntax

Throws:

com.octetstring.vde.syntax.InvalidSyntaxException
