Constructor Details

ASN1PrintableString

public ASN1PrintableString(@Nullable
 String stringValue)
                    throws ASN1Exception

Creates a new ASN.1 printable string element with the default BER type and the provided value.

Parameters:

stringValue - The string value to use for this element. It may be null or empty if the value should be empty. It must only contain characters allowed in printable strings.

Throws:

ASN1Exception - If the provided string does not represent a valid printable string.

ASN1PrintableString

public ASN1PrintableString(byte type,
 @Nullable
 String stringValue)
                    throws ASN1Exception

Creates a new ASN.1 printable string element with the specified BER type and the provided value.

Parameters:

type - The BER type for this element.

stringValue - The string value to use for this element. It may be null or empty if the value should be empty. It must only contain characters allowed in printable strings.

Throws:

ASN1Exception - If the provided string does not represent a valid printable string.

Method Details

stringValue

@NotNull
public String stringValue()

Retrieves the string value for this element.

Returns:

The string value for this element.

decodeAsPrintableString

@NotNull
public static ASN1PrintableString decodeAsPrintableString(@NotNull
 byte[] elementBytes)
                                                   throws ASN1Exception

Decodes the contents of the provided byte array as a printable string element.

Parameters:

elementBytes - The byte array to decode as an ASN.1 printable string element.

Returns:

The decoded ASN.1 printable string element.

Throws:

decodeAsPrintableString

@NotNull
public static ASN1PrintableString decodeAsPrintableString(@NotNull
 ASN1Element element)
                                                   throws ASN1Exception

Decodes the provided ASN.1 element as a printable string element.

Parameters:

element - The ASN.1 element to be decoded.

Returns:

The decoded ASN.1 printable string element.

Throws:

ASN1Exception - If the provided element cannot be decoded as a printable string element.

toString

public void toString(@NotNull
 StringBuilder buffer)

Appends a string representation of the value for this ASN.1 element to the provided buffer.

Overrides:

toString in class ASN1Element

Parameters:

buffer - The buffer to which to append the information.
