DistributionPointName

Class Overview

Represents the DistributionPointName ASN.1 type. It is used in the CRL Distribution Points Extension (OID = 2.5.29.31) and the Issuing Distribution Point Extension (OID = 2.5.29.28).

Its ASN.1 definition is:

     DistributionPointName ::= CHOICE {
         fullName                  [0] GeneralNames,
         nameRelativeToCRLIssuer   [1] RelativeDistinguishedName }

     GeneralNames ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF GeneralName

     GeneralName ::= CHOICE {
         otherName                 [0] INSTANCE OF OTHER-NAME,
         rfc822Name                [1] IA5String,
         dNSName                   [2] IA5String,
         x400Address               [3] ORAddress,
         directoryName             [4] Name,
         ediPartyName              [5] EDIPartyName,
         uniformResourceIdentifier [6] IA5String,
         iPAddress                 [7] OCTET STRING,
         registeredID              [8] OBJECT IDENTIFIER }

     RelativeDistinguishedName ::= SET OF AttributeTypeAndValue

     AttributeTypeAndValue ::= SEQUENCE {
         type    AttributeType,
         value   AttributeValue }

     AttributeType ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER

     AttributeValue ::= ANY DEFINED BY AttributeType

 

Instances of this class are designed to be immutable. However, since this is an internal API we do not use defensive cloning for values for performance reasons. It is the responsibility of the consumer to ensure that no mutable elements are modified.

Summary

[Expand] Inherited Methods

From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object. final void wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeout) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
