Class OldDistributionPointName

java.lang.Object

com.entrust.toolkit.asn1.structures.OldDistributionPointName

public class OldDistributionPointName
extends java.lang.Object

This class implements the OldDistributionPointName as used by the OldIssuingDistributionPoint extension. The entire hierarchy has been replaced by the X509 IssuingDistributionPoint extension and its sub-structures, but the old versions are required to parse some existing certificates.

The OldDistributionPointName structure is defined as:

 OldDistributionPointName ::= CHOICE {
     fullName         [0] Name,
     nameRelativeToCA [1] RelativeDistinguishedName }
 

In both cases the value is a Name structure, but in the second case it should be considered a partial path relative to the issuing CA.

Standard set and get methods are provided for each field.

Constructor Detail

OldDistributionPointName

public OldDistributionPointName()

Default constructor.

Generating a new OldDistributionPointName structure is not supported. This class is provided for backward compatibility with existing certificates only.

OldDistributionPointName

public OldDistributionPointName(ASN1Object obj)
                         throws CodingException

Implements the ASN1Type interface.

The given ASN1Object is parsed for the name and relative fields.

Parameters:

obj - the OldDistributionPointName as an ASN1Object

Throws:

CodingException - if the given ASN1Object is not an OldDistributionPointName

Method Detail

getDistributionPointName

public Name getDistributionPointName()

Returns the name value of this OldDistributionPointName structure specifying the (relative or absolute) name of the distribution point.

Returns:

the name value.

getRelativeFlag

public boolean getRelativeFlag()

Returns true if the name in this structure is considered a relative path name.

Returns:

true if name is relative, false if not.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string that represents the contents of this OldDistributionPointName structure.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

the string representation

getDirectoryName

public Name getDirectoryName(Name parent)

Returns the name value of this OldDistributionPointName structure as an absolute path name.

The absolute path name may be the name itself (if it is not considered relative), or the concatenation of the given parent location and the RDNs from the current name. In either case this method returns an absolute path name.

Parameters:

parent - the parent of a relative path

Returns:

the absolute directory path name
