Method Detail

getInstance

public static ASN1BitString getInstance(java.lang.Object obj)

getInstance

public static ASN1BitString getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject taggedObject,
                                        boolean declaredExplicit)

getTagged

public static ASN1BitString getTagged(ASN1TaggedObject taggedObject,
                                      boolean declaredExplicit)

getPadBits

protected static int getPadBits(int bitString)

Parameters:

bitString - an int containing the BIT STRING

Returns:

the correct number of pad bits for a bit string defined in a 32 bit constant

getBytes

protected static byte[] getBytes(int bitString)

Parameters:

bitString - an int containing the BIT STRING

Returns:

the correct number of bytes for a bit string defined in a 32 bit constant

getBitStream

public java.io.InputStream getBitStream()
                                 throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from interface: ASN1BitStringParser

Return an InputStream representing the contents of the BIT STRING. The final byte, if any, may include pad bits. See ASN1BitStringParser.getPadBits().

Specified by:

getBitStream in interface ASN1BitStringParser

Returns:

an InputStream with its source as the BIT STRING content.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getOctetStream

public java.io.InputStream getOctetStream()
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from interface: ASN1BitStringParser

Return an InputStream representing the contents of the BIT STRING, where the content is expected to be octet-aligned (this will be automatically checked during parsing).

Specified by:

getOctetStream in interface ASN1BitStringParser

Returns:

an InputStream with its source as the BIT STRING content.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

parser

public ASN1BitStringParser parser()

getString

public java.lang.String getString()

Return a String representation of this BIT STRING

Specified by:

getString in interface ASN1String

Returns:

a String representation.

intValue

public int intValue()

Returns:

the value of the bit string as an int (truncating if necessary)

getOctets

public byte[] getOctets()

Return the octets contained in this BIT STRING, checking that this BIT STRING really does represent an octet aligned string. Only use this method when the standard you are following dictates that the BIT STRING will be octet aligned.

Returns:

a copy of the octet aligned data.

getBytes

public byte[] getBytes()

getBytesLength

public int getBytesLength()

isOctetAligned

public boolean isOctetAligned()

getPadBits

public int getPadBits()

Description copied from interface: ASN1BitStringParser

Return the number of pad bits, if any, in the final byte, if any, read from ASN1BitStringParser.getBitStream(). This number is in the range zero to seven. That number of the least significant bits of the final byte, if any, are not part of the contents and should be ignored. NOTE: Must be called AFTER the stream has been fully processed. (Does not need to be called if ASN1BitStringParser.getOctetStream() was used instead of ASN1BitStringParser.getBitStream()).

Specified by:

getPadBits in interface ASN1BitStringParser

Returns:

the number of pad bits. In the range zero to seven.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in class ASN1Primitive

getLoadedObject

public ASN1Primitive getLoadedObject()

Description copied from interface: InMemoryRepresentable

Get the in-memory representation of the ASN.1 object.

Specified by:

getLoadedObject in interface InMemoryRepresentable

Returns:

an ASN1Primitive representing the loaded object.
