Class GeneralNames

java.lang.Object
  sun.security.x509.GeneralNames

public class GeneralNames
extends Object

This object class represents the GeneralNames type required in X509 certificates.

The ASN.1 syntax for this is:

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

Constructor Summary

GeneralNames()
The default constructor for this class.

GeneralNames(DerValue derVal)
Create the GeneralNames, decoding from the passed DerValue.

Method Summary

GeneralNames	add(GeneralName name)
void	encode(DerOutputStream out) Write the extension to the DerOutputStream.
boolean	equals(Object obj) compare this GeneralNames to other object for equality
GeneralName	get(int index)
int	hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object.
boolean	isEmpty()
Iterator	iterator()
int	size()
String	toString() Returns a string representation of the object.

encode

public void encode(DerOutputStream out)
            throws IOException

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

compare this GeneralNames to other object for equality

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:

true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from class: Object

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hashtables such as those provided by java.util.Hashtable.

The general contract of hashCode is:

• Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
• If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
• It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the Object.equals(java.lang.Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hashtables.

As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the Java^TM programming language.)

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hash code value for this object.

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Object

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
 

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string representation of the object.
