Constructor Detail

ASN1OctetString

public ASN1OctetString()

ASN1OctetString

public ASN1OctetString(byte[] b)

Creates an instance with side effects. The given array is copied by reference.

Parameters:

b - The byte array that is set as contents.

Method Detail

getValue

public Object getValue()

Description copied from class: ASN1AbstractType

This abstract method should return the value wrapped by the ASN1Type.

Overrides:

getValue in class ASN1AbstractType

Following copied from class: codec.asn1.ASN1AbstractType

Returns:

the internal value

getByteArray

public byte[] getByteArray()

Returns the contents octets as a byte array. The returned byte array is is the instance used internally. Do not modify it, otherwise side effects occur.

Returns:

The contents octets as a byte array.

setByteArray

public void setByteArray(byte[] b)
                  throws ConstraintException

Sets the given bytes. The given byte array is copied by reference. Be careful, side effects can occur if the array is modified subsequent to calling this method. Constraints are checked after setting the bytes.

Parameters:

b - The byte array that is set.

Throws:

ConstraintException - if the constraint is not met by the given byte array.

byteCount

public int byteCount()

getTag

public int getTag()

Description copied from class: ASN1AbstractType

Returns the corresponding ASN.1 tag.

Overrides:

getTag in class ASN1AbstractType

Following copied from class: codec.asn1.ASN1AbstractType

Returns:

the corresponding ASN.1 tag

encode

public void encode(Encoder enc)
            throws ASN1Exception,
                   IOException

Overrides:

encode in class ASN1AbstractType

decode

public void decode(Decoder dec)
            throws ASN1Exception,
                   IOException

Overrides:

decode in class ASN1AbstractType

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

clone

public Object clone()

Returns a clone. The clone is a deep copy of this instance with the exception of constraints. Constraints are copied by reference.

Overrides:

clone in class Object

Returns:

The clone.
