ASN1UTF8String

public ASN1UTF8String(@Nullable
 String stringValue)

Creates a new ASN.1 UTF-8 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.

ASN1UTF8String

public ASN1UTF8String(byte type,
 @Nullable
 String stringValue)

Creates a new ASN.1 UTF-8 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.

Method Details

stringValue

@NotNull
public String stringValue()

Retrieves the string value for this element.

Returns:

The string value for this element.

decodeAsUTF8String

@NotNull
public static ASN1UTF8String decodeAsUTF8String(@NotNull
 byte[] elementBytes)
                                         throws ASN1Exception

Decodes the contents of the provided byte array as a UTF-8 string element.

Parameters:

elementBytes - The byte array to decode as an ASN.1 UTF-8 string element.

Returns:

The decoded ASN.1 UTF-8 string element.

Throws:

ASN1Exception - If the provided array cannot be decoded as a UTF-8 string element.

decodeAsUTF8String

@NotNull
public static ASN1UTF8String decodeAsUTF8String(@NotNull

                                         throws ASN1Exception

Decodes the provided ASN.1 element as a UTF-8 string element.

Parameters:

element - The ASN.1 element to be decoded.

Returns:

The decoded ASN.1 UTF-8 string element.

Throws:

ASN1Exception - If the provided element cannot be decoded as a UTF-8 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.
