Class PolicyInformation

java.lang.Object

sun.security.x509.PolicyInformation

public class PolicyInformation
extends java.lang.Object

PolicyInformation is the class that contains a specific certificate policy that is part of the CertificatePoliciesExtension. A CertificatePolicyExtension value consists of a vector of these objects.

The ASN.1 syntax for PolicyInformation (IMPLICIT tagging is defined in the module definition):

 PolicyInformation ::= SEQUENCE {
      policyIdentifier   CertPolicyId,
      policyQualifiers   SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF
                              PolicyQualifierInfo OPTIONAL }

 CertPolicyId ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER

 PolicyQualifierInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
      policyQualifierId  PolicyQualifierId,
      qualifier          ANY DEFINED BY policyQualifierId }

1.4

Constructor Detail

PolicyInformation

public PolicyInformation(CertificatePolicyId policyIdentifier,
                 java.util.Set<java.security.cert.PolicyQualifierInfo> policyQualifiers)
                  throws java.io.IOException

Create an instance of PolicyInformation

Parameters:

policyIdentifier - the policyIdentifier as a CertificatePolicyId

policyQualifiers - a Set of PolicyQualifierInfo objects. Must not be NULL. Specify an empty Set for no qualifiers.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - on decoding errors.

PolicyInformation

public PolicyInformation(DerValue val)
                  throws java.io.IOException

Create an instance of PolicyInformation, decoding from the passed DerValue.

Parameters:

val - the DerValue to construct the PolicyInformation from.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - on decoding errors.

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

Compare this PolicyInformation with another object for equality

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

other - object to be compared with this

Returns:

true iff the PolicyInformation objects match

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code for this PolicyInformation.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a hash code value.

getPolicyIdentifier

public CertificatePolicyId getPolicyIdentifier()

Return the policyIdentifier value

Returns:

The CertificatePolicyId object containing the policyIdentifier (not a copy).

getPolicyQualifiers

public java.util.Set<java.security.cert.PolicyQualifierInfo> getPolicyQualifiers()

Return the policyQualifiers value

Returns:

a Set of PolicyQualifierInfo objects associated with this certificate policy (not a copy). Returns an empty Set if there are no qualifiers. Never returns null.

get

public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.String name)
                     throws java.io.IOException
