public class ObjectID

extends ASN1Object

This class implements the ASN.1 native type "OBJECT IDENTIFIER". OBJECT IDENTIFIER is a simple non-string ASN.1 type identified by the UNIVERSAL TAG number 6. An ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER object represents an object identifier. It consists of a sequence of integer components and is used for identifying some abstract information object (for instance an algorithm, an attribute type, or even a registration authority that defines other object identifiers).

This class uses Strings as representation of object identifiers. For example: "1.2.3.4".

This class is responsible for generating ObjectIDs for several X.500, PKCS#7, PKCS#9, PKCS#12 and PKIX objects that may be used by specifying the corresponding objectID´s name: ObjectID.<name>,

for instance:

 ObjectID policyQualifierId = ObjectID.id_pkix_cps;
 

Beside this, new ObjectIDs may be created by using one of the several constructors, either by only specifying the OID-String of the new ObjectID, or by additionally specifying the name (and the shortName). When name (and shortName) are specified, they are automatically registered for the new ObjectID, e.g:

 String oidStr = "9.5.12345.17.8";
 String name = "myObjectID";
 String shortName = "mO";
 ObjectID myOID = new ObjectID(oidStr, name, shortName);
 

Otherwise, if only the OID string for the new ObjectID is supplied, no name respectively shortName registration can be performed.

When creating a new ObjectID by means of one of the several constructors, an already existing ObjectID with the same oid string will be replaced. For that reason it may be useful to call the hasRegisteredName method for querying if a name already has been registered for some particular oid before creating a new one - and overwriting the old one, e.g.:

 String oidStr = "9.5.12345.17.8";
 String name = "myObjectID";
 String shortName = "mO";
 ObjectID oid = null;
 if (!ObjectID.hasRegisteredName(oidStr)) {
   oid = new ObjectID(oidStr, name, shortName); 
 }   
 

The hasRegisteredName method only will return true if a name already has been regsitered; in that way, it will return false, if only an OID string - and no name/shortName - has been specified when creating the ObjectID in mind.

Constructor Detail

ObjectID

protected ObjectID()

The default constructor.

ObjectID

public ObjectID(java.lang.String oid)

Constructs an ObjectID from a String. If a name already has been registered for the given ObjectID, it will be cleared when calling this method. If a shortName has been registered, it will be cleared.

Parameters:

oid - the objectID as String, e.g. "1.2.3.4"

ObjectID

public ObjectID(java.lang.String oid,
                java.lang.String name)

Constructs an ObjectID from a String representation and a String name. If a name already has been registered for the given ObjectID, it will be replaced when calling this method. If a shortName has been registered, it will be cleared. Use the hasRegisteredName method for querying if a name for the particular oid already has been registered, e.g.:

 String oidStr = "9.5.12345.17.8";
 String name = "myObjectID";
 ObjectID oid = null;
 if (!ObjectID.hasRegisteredName(oidStr)) {
   oid = new ObjectID(oidStr, name); 
 }   
 

Parameters:

oid - the objectID as String, e.g. "1.2.3.4"

name - a name for the objectID

ObjectID

public ObjectID(java.lang.String oid,
                java.lang.String name,
                java.lang.String shortName)

Constructs an ObjectID from a String representation, a String name, and a String shortName. If a name already has been registered for the given ObjectID, it will be replaced when calling this method. If a shortName has been registered, it also will be replaced. Use the hasRegisteredName method for querying if a name for the particular oid already has been registered, e.g.:

 String oidStr = "9.5.12345.17.8";
 String name = "myObjectID";
 String shortName = "mO";
 ObjectID oid = null;
 if (!ObjectID.hasRegisteredName(oidStr)) {
   oid = new ObjectID(oidStr, name, shortName); 
 }   
 

Parameters:

oid - the objectID as String, e.g. "1.2.3.4"

name - a name for the objectID, e.g. "commonName"

shortName - a short name for the objectID e.g. "CN"

Method Detail

Returns the name registered for this ObjectID or the object identifier if there is no name registered.

Returns:

the name of the ObjectID; if no name is registered, the OID string is returned

getShortName

public java.lang.String getShortName()

Returns the short name registered for this ObjectID. If no shortName is registered, but a name is registered, the name is returned. If no shortName is registered, and no name is registered, the OID string is returned.

Returns:

the short name of the ObjectID; if no shortName is registered the name - if registered - or the OID string is returned

hashCode

public int hashCode()
