Class NetscapeBaseUrl

java.lang.Object

iaik.x509.V3Extension

iaik.x509.extensions.netscape.NetscapeBaseUrl

public class NetscapeBaseUrl
extends V3Extension

This class implements the NetscapeBaseUrl Extension.

Each Netscape certificate extension is associated with a specific certificateExtension object identifier, derived from:

 netscape OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 2 16 840 1 113730 }
 netscape-cert-extension OBJECT IDENTIFIER :: = { netscape 1 }
 

The object identifier for the NetscapeBaseUrl extension is defined as:

netscape-base-url OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { netscape-cert-extension 2 }

which corresponds to the OID string "2.16.840.1.113730.1.2".

The Netscape Certificate Specification specifies the NetscapeBaseUrl extension as IA5String that - when present - is added to the beginning of all relative URLs in the certificate.

You may specify a particular URL directly when creating a NetscapeBaseUrl extension, or you may use the default constructor and supply the URL by using the setBaseUrl method, e.g.:

 NetscapeBaseUrl netscapeBaseUrl = new NetscapeBaseUrl();
 netscapeBaseUrl.setBaseUrl("https://www.certs-r-us.com/");

Field Detail

oid

public static ObjectID oid

The object ID of the X.509 extension NetscapeBaseUrl.

Constructor Detail

NetscapeBaseUrl

public NetscapeBaseUrl()

Default constructor. Creates an empty NetscapeBaseUrl object.

Use the setBaseUrl method for explicitly setting some particular URL, e.g.:

 NetscapeBaseUrl netscapeBaseUrl = new NetscapeBaseUrl();
 netscapeBaseUrl.setBaseUrl("https://www.certs-r-us.com/");
 

NetscapeBaseUrl

public NetscapeBaseUrl(java.lang.String url)

Constructs a NetscapeBaseUrl extension with a specified URL.

The URL is given as a String value, for instance:

NetscapeBaseUrl netscapeBaseUrl = new NetscapeBaseUrl("https://www.certs-r-us.com/");

Parameters:

url - the base URL, as String

Method Detail

getObjectID

public ObjectID getObjectID()

Returns the object ID of this NetscapeBaseUrl extension

Specified by:

getObjectID in class V3Extension

Returns:

the object ID

init

public void init(ASN1Object obj)

Inits this NetscapeBaseUrl implementation with an ASN1object representing the value of this extension.

The given ASN1Object represents the IA5STRING URL value.

The given ASN1Object is the one created by toASN1Object().

This method is used by the X509Extensions class when parsing the ASN.1 representation of a certificate for properly initializing an included NetscapeBaseUrl extension. This method initializes the extension only with its value, but not with its critical specification. For that reason, this method shall not be explicitly called by an application.

Specified by:

init in class V3Extension

Parameters:

obj - the netscapeBaseUrl as ASN1Object

toASN1Object

public ASN1Object toASN1Object()

Returns an ASN1Object representing the value of this NetscapeBaseUrl extension object.

The returned ASN1Object represents the IA5STRING URL value.

Specified by:

toASN1Object in class V3Extension

Returns:

the value of this NetscapeBaseUrl as ASN1Object

setBaseUrl

public void setBaseUrl(java.lang.String url)

Sets the base url.

The URL value is given as String, e.g.:

 NetscapeBaseUrl netscapeBaseUrl = new NetscapeBaseUrl();
 netscapeBaseUrl.setBaseUrl("https://www.certs-r-us.com/");
 

Parameters:

url - the base url as String

getBaseUrl

public java.lang.String getBaseUrl()

Returns the base url.

Returns:

the base url value as String

See Also:

setBaseUrl(java.lang.String)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hashcode for this identity.

Specified by:

hashCode in class V3Extension

Returns:

a hash code for this identity

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string that represents the contents of this NetscapeBaseUrl extension.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

the string representation
