Constructor Summary

Constructors

Constructor	Description
Time(Date time)	Creates a time object from a given date - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used.
Time(Date time, Locale locale)	Creates a time object from a given date and locale - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used.
Time(ASN1Primitive time)

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description

Constructor Detail

Time

public Time(ASN1Primitive time)

Time

public Time(Date time)

Creates a time object from a given date - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used.

Parameters:

time - a date object representing the time of interest.

Time

public Time(Date time,
            Locale locale)

Creates a time object from a given date and locale - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used. You may need to use this constructor if the default locale doesn't use a Gregorian calender so that the GeneralizedTime produced is compatible with other ASN.1 implementations.

Parameters:

time - a date object representing the time of interest.

locale - an appropriate Locale for producing an ASN.1 GeneralizedTime value.

Method Detail

getInstance

public static Time getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj,
                               boolean explicit)

getInstance

public static Time getInstance(Object obj)

getTime

public String getTime()

getDate

public Date getDate()

toASN1Primitive

public ASN1Primitive toASN1Primitive()

Produce an object suitable for an ASN1OutputStream.

 Time ::= CHOICE {
             utcTime        UTCTime,
             generalTime    GeneralizedTime }
 

Specified by:

toASN1Primitive in interface ASN1Encodable

Specified by:

toASN1Primitive in class ASN1Object

Returns:

a primitive representation of this object.

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.
