Package org.bouncycastle.asn1.cms

Class Time

java.lang.Object
org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Object
org.bouncycastle.asn1.cms.Time
All Implemented Interfaces:
org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Choice, org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Encodable, org.bouncycastle.util.Encodable
public class Time extends org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Object implements org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Choice
RFC 5652: Dual-mode timestamp format producing either UTCTIme or GeneralizedTime. 

 Time ::= CHOICE {
     utcTime        UTCTime,
     generalTime    GeneralizedTime }

This has a constructor using java.util.Date for input which generates a DERUTCTime object if the supplied datetime is in range 1950-01-01-00:00:00 UTC until 2049-12-31-23:59:60 UTC. If the datetime value is outside that range, the generated object will be DERGeneralizedTime.

    Constructor
    Description
    Time(Date time)
    Creates a time object from a given date - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used.
    Time(Date time, Locale locale)
    Creates a time object from a given date and locale - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used.

  • Constructor Details

    • Time

      public Time(Date time)
      Creates a time object from a given date - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used.
      Parameters:
      time - a date object representing the time of interest.

    • Time

      public Time(Date time, Locale locale)
      Creates a time object from a given date and locale - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used. You may need to use this constructor if the default locale doesn't use a Gregorian calender so that the GeneralizedTime produced is compatible with other ASN.1 implementations.
      Parameters:
      time - a date object representing the time of interest.
      locale - an appropriate Locale for producing an ASN.1 GeneralizedTime value.

  • Method Details

    • getInstance

      public static Time getInstance(org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1TaggedObject obj, boolean explicit)

    • getInstance

      public static Time getInstance(Object obj)
      Return a Time object from the given object.

      Accepted inputs:

      • null → null
      • Time object
      • DERUTCTime object
      • DERGeneralizedTime object
      Parameters:
      obj - the object we want converted.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be converted.

    • getTime

      public String getTime()
      Get the date and time as a String in full form century format.

    • getDate

      public Date getDate()
      Get java.util.Date version of date+time.

    • toASN1Primitive
