Constructor Detail

Service

public Service(Provider provider,
               String type,
               String algorithm,
               String className,
               List<String> aliases,
               Map<String,String> attributes)

Constructs a new instance of Service with the given attributes.

Parameters:

provider - the provider to which this service belongs.

type - the type of this service (for example KeyPairGenerator).

algorithm - the algorithm this service implements.

className - the name of the class implementing this service.

aliases - List of aliases for the algorithm name, or null if the implemented algorithm has no aliases.

attributes - Map of additional attributes, or null if this Service has no attributed.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if provider, type, algorithm or className is null.

Method Detail

getType

public final String getType()

Returns the type of this Service. For example KeyPairGenerator.

Returns:

the type of this Service.

getAlgorithm

public final String getAlgorithm()

Returns the name of the algorithm implemented by this Service.

Returns:

the name of the algorithm implemented by this Service.

getProvider

public final Provider getProvider()

Returns the Provider this Service belongs to.

Returns:

the Provider this Service belongs to.

getClassName

public final String getClassName()

Returns the name of the class implementing this Service.

Returns:

the name of the class implementing this Service.

getAttribute

public final String getAttribute(String name)

Returns the value of the attribute with the specified name.

Parameters:

name - the name of the attribute.

Returns:

the value of the attribute, or null if no attribute with the given name is set.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if name is null.

newInstance

public Object newInstance(Object constructorParameter)
                   throws NoSuchAlgorithmException

Creates and returns a new instance of the implementation described by this Service.

Parameters:

constructorParameter - the parameter that is used by the constructor, or null if the implementation does not declare a constructor parameter.

Returns:

a new instance of the implementation described by this Service.

Throws:

NoSuchAlgorithmException - if the instance could not be constructed.

InvalidParameterException - if the implementation does not support the specified constructorParameter.

supportsParameter

public boolean supportsParameter(Object parameter)

Indicates whether this Service supports the specified constructor parameter.

Parameters:

parameter - the parameter to test.

Returns:

true if this Service supports the specified constructor parameter, false otherwise.

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this Service.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a printable representation for this Service.
