Constructor Detail

OptionalValidity

public OptionalValidity(ChoiceOfTime time,
                boolean notBefore)

Creates a new OptionalValidity object with only one of the fields set. If the notBefore parameter is true, then the notBefore field is set; if the notBefore parameter is false, then the notAfter field is set.

Parameters:

time - the time/date

notBefore - indicates which field to set with the time/date

OptionalValidity

public OptionalValidity(ChoiceOfTime notBefore,
                ChoiceOfTime notAfter)

Creates a new OptionalValidity object with both the notBefore and the notAfter fields set.

Parameters:

notBefore - the time/date the certificate should become valid

notAfter - the time/date the certificate should become invalid

OptionalValidity

public OptionalValidity(ASN1Object obj)
                 throws CodingException

Creates a OptionalValidity object from an ASN1Object.

Parameters:

obj - the ASN.1 representation of a OptionalValidity structure

Throws:

CodingException - thrown if an errors occurs while decoding the ANS1Object

Method Detail

getNotBefore

public ChoiceOfTime getNotBefore()

Returns the notBefore date if it has been set; otherwise null is returned.

Returns:

the notBefore component

getNotAfter

public ChoiceOfTime getNotAfter()

Returns the notAfter date if it has been set; otherwise null is returned.

Returns:

the notAfter component

decode

public void decode(ASN1Object obj)
            throws CodingException

Decodes a OptionalValidity structure from an ASN1Object.

Specified by:

decode in interface ASN1Type

Parameters:

obj - an ASN.1 representation of a OptionalValidity structure

Throws:

CodingException - thrown if an errors occurs while decoding the ANS1Object

toASN1Object

public ASN1Object toASN1Object()

Encodes this OptionalValidity as an ASN1Object.

Specified by:

toASN1Object in interface ASN1Type

Returns:

an ASN.1 representation of this object

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Creates a text representation of the ASN.1 structure of this OptionalValidity object.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a text representation of the ASN.1 structure of this object
