org.bouncycastle.asn1.DLOctetStringGenerator

public class DLOctetStringGenerator
extends DLGenerator

A stream generator for definite-length (primitive) OCTET STRINGs. The caller commits to the octet count up front; the header is written immediately and the octets then stream through getOctetOutputStream(), which enforces the count — writing past it fails immediately, and close() fails if it was not reached. The count is a long, so content larger than a Java array can carry is supported.

The result is a single primitive OCTET STRING (as DER requires), in contrast to BEROctetStringGenerator's indefinite-length constructed chunking.

Constructor and Description
DLOctetStringGenerator(java.io.OutputStream out, int tagNo, boolean isExplicit, long octetCount) Use the passed in stream as the target for the generator, writing out the header for a tagged definite-length OCTET STRING (primitive when implicit, per X.690 8.14.3).
DLOctetStringGenerator(java.io.OutputStream out, long octetCount) Use the passed in stream as the target for the generator, writing out the header for a definite-length primitive OCTET STRING.

Constructor Detail

DLOctetStringGenerator

public DLOctetStringGenerator(java.io.OutputStream out,
                              long octetCount)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Use the passed in stream as the target for the generator, writing out the header for a definite-length primitive OCTET STRING.

Parameters:

out - target stream

octetCount - the exact number of octets that will be written

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the target stream cannot be written to.

DLOctetStringGenerator

public DLOctetStringGenerator(java.io.OutputStream out,
                              int tagNo,
                              boolean isExplicit,
                              long octetCount)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Use the passed in stream as the target for the generator, writing out the header for a tagged definite-length OCTET STRING (primitive when implicit, per X.690 8.14.3).

Parameters:

out - target stream

tagNo - the tag number to introduce

isExplicit - true if this is an explicitly tagged object, false otherwise.

octetCount - the exact number of octets that will be written

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the target stream cannot be written to.

Method Detail

getOctetOutputStream

public java.io.OutputStream getOctetOutputStream()

Return the content target for this OCTET STRING. Writes are counted against the count declared at construction; writing past it fails immediately.

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException

Verify the declared octet count was written in full.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if fewer octets were written than declared.
