    • Method Detail

      • getInstance

        public static X500Name getInstance​(ASN1TaggedObject obj,
                                   boolean explicit)
        Return a X500Name based on the passed in tagged object.
        Parameters:
        obj - tag object holding name.
        explicit - true if explicitly tagged false otherwise.
        Returns:
        the X500Name

      • getRDNs

        public RDN[] getRDNs()
        return an array of RDNs in structure order.
        Returns:
        an array of RDN objects.

      • getAttributeTypes

        public ASN1ObjectIdentifier[] getAttributeTypes()
        return an array of OIDs contained in the attribute type of each RDN in structure order.
        Returns:
        an array, possibly zero length, of ASN1ObjectIdentifiers objects.

      • getRDNs

        public RDN[] getRDNs​(ASN1ObjectIdentifier attributeType)
        return an array of RDNs containing the attribute type given by OID in structure order.
        Parameters:
        attributeType - the type OID we are looking for.
        Returns:
        an array, possibly zero length, of RDN objects.

      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Description copied from class: Object
        Returns an integer hash code for this object. By contract, any two objects for which Object.equals(java.lang.Object) returns true must return the same hash code value. This means that subclasses of Object usually override both methods or neither method.

        Note that hash values must not change over time unless information used in equals comparisons also changes.

        See Writing a correct hashCode method if you intend implementing your own hashCode method.

        Overrides:
        hashCode in class ASN1Object
        Returns:
        this object's hash code.
        See Also:
        Object.equals(java.lang.Object)

      • equals

        public boolean equals​(Object obj)
        test for equality - note: case is ignored.
        Overrides:
        equals in class ASN1Object
        Parameters:
        obj - the object to compare this instance with.
        Returns:
        true if the specified object is equal to this Object; false otherwise.
        See Also:
        Object.hashCode()

      • toString

        public String toString()
        Description copied from class: Object
        Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide an implementation that takes into account the object's type and data. The default implementation is equivalent to the following expression: 
           getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

        See Writing a useful toString method if you intend implementing your own toString method.

        Overrides:
        toString in class Object
        Returns:
        a printable representation of this object.

      • setDefaultStyle

        public static void setDefaultStyle​(X500NameStyle style)
        Set the default style for X500Name construction.
        Parameters:
        style - an X500NameStyle

      • getDefaultStyle

        public static X500NameStyle getDefaultStyle()
        Return the current default style.
        Returns:
        default style for X500Name construction.
