Class PGPObjectFactory

java.lang.Object

org.bouncycastle.openpgp.PGPObjectFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.bouncycastle.util.Iterable

Direct Known Subclasses:

BcPGPObjectFactory, JcaPGPObjectFactory

public class PGPObjectFactory
extends java.lang.Object
implements org.bouncycastle.util.Iterable

General class for reading a PGP object stream.

Note: if this class finds a PGPPublicKey or a PGPSecretKey it will create a PGPPublicKeyRing, or a PGPSecretKeyRing for each key found. If all you are trying to do is read a key ring file use either PGPPublicKeyRingCollection or PGPSecretKeyRingCollection.

This factory supports reading the following types of objects:

PacketTags.SIGNATURE - produces a PGPSignatureList

PacketTags.SECRET_KEY - produces a PGPSecretKeyRing PacketTags.PUBLIC_KEY - produces a PGPPublicKeyRing PacketTags.PUBLIC_SUBKEY - produces a PGPPublicKey PacketTags.COMPRESSED_DATA - produces a PGPCompressedData PacketTags.LITERAL_DATA - produces a PGPLiteralData PacketTags.PUBLIC_KEY_ENC_SESSION - produces a PGPEncryptedDataList PacketTags.SYMMETRIC_KEY_ENC_SESSION - produces a PGPEncryptedDataList PacketTags.ONE_PASS_SIGNATURE - produces a PGPOnePassSignatureList PacketTags.MARKER - produces a PGPMarker

Constructor Detail

PGPObjectFactory

public PGPObjectFactory(java.io.InputStream in,
                        KeyFingerPrintCalculator fingerPrintCalculator)

Create an object factory suitable for reading PGP objects such as keys, key rings and key ring collections, or PGP encrypted data.

Parameters:

in - stream to read PGP data from.

fingerPrintCalculator - calculator to use in key finger print calculations.

PGPObjectFactory

public PGPObjectFactory(byte[] bytes,
                        KeyFingerPrintCalculator fingerPrintCalculator)

Create an object factory suitable for reading PGP objects such as keys, key rings and key ring collections, or PGP encrypted data.

Parameters:

bytes - PGP encoded data.

fingerPrintCalculator - calculator to use in key finger print calculations.

Method Detail

nextObject

public java.lang.Object nextObject()
                            throws java.io.IOException

Return the next object in the stream, or null if the end of stream is reached.

Returns:

one of the supported objects - see class docs for details.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs reading from the wrapped stream or parsing data.

iterator

public java.util.Iterator iterator()

Support method for Iterable where available.

Specified by:

iterator in interface org.bouncycastle.util.Iterable

setThrowForUnknownCriticalPackets

public PGPObjectFactory setThrowForUnknownCriticalPackets(boolean throwException)

If set to true, the object factory will throw an IOException if it encounters an unknown packet with a packet tag within the critical range (0 - 39).

Parameters:

throwException - whether to throw

Returns:

object factory
