public class GeneralNames

extends java.lang.Object

implements ASN1Type

This class implements the ASN1. type "GeneralNames". A GeneralNames structure is defined as Vector of GeneralName objects.

ASN.1 definition:

 GeneralNames ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF GeneralName
 

 GeneralName ::= CHOICE {
          otherName                       [0]     OtherName,
          rfc822Name                      [1]     IA5String,
          dNSName                         [2]     IA5String,
          x400Address                     [3]     ORAddress,
          directoryName                   [4]     Name,
          ediPartyName                    [5]     EDIPartyName,
          uniformResourceIdentifier       [6]     IA5String,
          iPAddress                       [7]     OCTET STRING,
          registeredID                    [8]     OBJECT IDENTIFIER}
 

 OtherName ::= SEQUENCE {          
          type-id    OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
          value      [0] EXPLICIT ANY DEFINED BY type-id }
 

 EDIPartyName ::= SEQUENCE {
          nameAssigner            [0]     DirectoryString OPTIONAL,
          partyName               [1]     DirectoryString } 
 

 DirectoryString ::= CHOICE {
    teletexString           TeletexString (SIZE (1..maxSize),
    printableString         PrintableString (SIZE (1..maxSize)),
    universalString         UniversalString (SIZE (1..maxSize)),
    bmpString               BMPString (SIZE(1..maxSIZE))
 }
 

When creating a new GeneralNames structure, a GeneralName object immediatly may be supplied, e.g.:

 GeneralNames gNames = new GeneralNames(new GeneralName(...));
 

Further GeneralName objects may be added by means of the addName method, e.g.:

 gNames.addName(new GeneralName(...));

Constructor Detail

GeneralNames

public GeneralNames()

Default constructor. Creates an empty GeneralNames object.

Use the addName method for adding a GeneralName.

GeneralNames

public GeneralNames(GeneralName generalName)

Creates a GeneralNames structure from a GeneralName. Use the addName method for adding further GeneralName objects.

Parameters:

generalName - the GeneralName to add

GeneralNames

public GeneralNames(ASN1Object obj)
             throws CodingException

Constructs a GeneralNames object from an ASN1Object.

The given ASN1Object represents an already existing GeneralNames structure that may have been created by means of the toASN1Object method.

Parameters:

obj - the GeneralNames as ASN1Object

Throws:

CodingException - if an parsing error occurs

Method Detail

decode

public void decode(ASN1Object obj)
            throws CodingException

Decodes a GeneralNames from the given ASN1Object. The ASN1Object may represent a single GeneralName or may be composed of several GeneralName objects that have to be included into the new GeneralNames object.

Specified by:

decode in interface ASN1Type

Parameters:

obj - the GeneralNames ASN1Object consisting of one or more GeneralName objects

Throws:

CodingException - if the ASN1Object donīt realizes a GenaeralName structure

addName

public void addName(GeneralName generalName)

Adds a GeneralName to the list of general names.

Parameters:

generalName - the GeneralName to add

removeAllNames

public void removeAllNames()

Removes all genereal names from the list.

getNames

public java.util.Enumeration getNames()

Returns an enumeration of the general names.

Returns:

all the inherent general names as Enumeration

toASN1Object

public ASN1Object toASN1Object()
                        throws CodingException

Returns this GeneralNames object as ASN1Object.

Specified by:

toASN1Object in interface ASN1Type

Returns:

the value of this GeneralNames as SEQUENCE ASN1Object

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string that represents the contents of this GeneralNames object.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

the string representation
