public class BMPString

extends ASN1String

This class implements the native ASN.1 type "BMPString". BMPString is a simple ASN.1 string type identified by the UNIVERSAL TAG number 30.

BMPString is a subtype of the UniversalString type and models the Basic Multilingual Plane of ISO/IEC/ITU 10646-1, a two-octet (USC-2) encoding form, which is identical to Unicode 1.1.

When creating a new BMPString object the value to be represented has to be supplied as Java String type:

 String s = ...;
 BMPString bmpString = new BMPString(s);
 

Attention: When supplying the string value to be represented, no check is performed if it actually is composed only of characters belonging to BMPString character set! An application itself has to take care for supplying a proper BMPString value.

When calling the getValue method for getting the inherent string value from an ASN.1 BMPString instance, a Java object of type String is returned:

 String s = (String)BMPString.getValue();
 

DER en/decoding generally is done by means of the several methods of the DerCoder class; decoding alternatively may be performed by using the DerInputStream utility.

Constructor Detail

BMPString

protected BMPString()

Creates an empty BMPString.

BMPString

public BMPString(String value)

Creates a new ASN.1 BMPString object for the given String value.

Attention: No check is performed if the supplied String value actually is composed only of characters belonging to the BMPString character set! An application itself has to take care for supplying a proper BMPString value.

Parameters:

value - the String value this BMPString object should be initialized with

Method Detail

getValue

public Object getValue()

Returns the value of this BMPString as a String object.

Overrides:

getValue in class ASN1Object

Returns:

the value of this BMPString as a String object

setValue

public void setValue(Object object)

Sets the value of this BMPString.

The supplied value has to be a Java object of type String. Attention: No check is performed if the supplied String value actually is composed only of characters belonging to BMPString character set! An application itself has to take care for supplying a proper BMPString value.

Overrides:

setValue in class ASN1Object

Parameters:

object - the Java String value to be set for this BMPString
