Class OtherName

java.lang.Object
  sun.security.x509.OtherName

All Implemented Interfaces:

GeneralNameInterface

public class OtherName
extends Object
implements GeneralNameInterface

This class represents the OtherName as required by the GeneralNames ASN.1 object. It supplies the generic framework to allow specific Other Name types, and also provides minimal support for unrecognized Other Name types. The ASN.1 definition for OtherName is:

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

Constructor Detail

OtherName

public OtherName(ObjectIdentifier oid,
                 byte[] value)
          throws IOException

Create the OtherName object from a passed ObjectIdentfier and byte array name value

Parameters:

oid - ObjectIdentifier of this OtherName object

value - the DER-encoded value of the OtherName

Throws:

IOException - on error

OtherName

public OtherName(DerValue derValue)
          throws IOException

Create the OtherName object from the passed encoded Der value.

Parameters:

derValue - the encoded DER OtherName.

Throws:

IOException - on error.

Method Detail

getOID

public ObjectIdentifier getOID()

Get ObjectIdentifier

getNameValue

public byte[] getNameValue()

Get name value

getType

public int getType()

Return the type of the GeneralName.

Specified by:

getType in interface GeneralNameInterface

encode

public void encode(DerOutputStream out)
            throws IOException

Encode the Other name into the DerOutputStream.

Specified by:

encode in interface GeneralNameInterface

Parameters:

out - the DER stream to encode the Other-Name to.

Throws:

IOException - on encoding errors.

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Compares this name with another, for equality.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

other - the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:

true iff the names are identical.

See Also:

Object.hashCode(), Hashtable

toString

public String toString()

Convert the name into user readable string.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string representation of the object.

constrains

public int constrains(GeneralNameInterface inputName)

Return type of constraint inputName places on this name:

• NAME_DIFF_TYPE = -1: input name is different type from name (i.e. does not constrain).
• NAME_MATCH = 0: input name matches name.
• NAME_NARROWS = 1: input name narrows name (is lower in the naming subtree)
• NAME_WIDENS = 2: input name widens name (is higher in the naming subtree)
• NAME_SAME_TYPE = 3: input name does not match or narrow name, but is same type.

. These results are used in checking NameConstraints during certification path verification.

Specified by:

constrains in interface GeneralNameInterface

Parameters:

inputName - to be checked for being constrained

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if name is same type, but comparison operations are not supported for this name type.

subtreeDepth

public int subtreeDepth()

Return subtree depth of this name for purposes of determining NameConstraints minimum and maximum bounds.

Specified by:

subtreeDepth in interface GeneralNameInterface

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if not supported for this name type
