Constructor Detail

OctetString

public OctetString()

The default constructor. Sets the OctetString to the default value (an empty byte[]).

OctetString

public OctetString(byte[] value)

Constructs the OctetString object with the specified byte[] value.

Parameters:

value - specifies the new value.

Method Detail

byteArrayValue

public final byte[] byteArrayValue()

Gets the value of this object as a byte[].

Returns:

the byte[] value of 'this' object.

setValue

public void setValue(byte[] value)

Sets the value of this object to the specified byte[] value.

Parameters:

value - specifies the new value.

getSize

public final int getSize()

Returns the size of the OctetString in bytes.

Returns:

the size of the OctetString in bytes.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Description copied from class: AbstractData

Creates a deep copy of this object.

Overrides:

clone in class AbstractData

Returns:

a copy of 'this' object.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object that)

Compares this object to another OctetString to see if they are equal. Two OctetString objects are considered equal if and only if they have identical byte[] values.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

that - the OctetString object to be compared to.

Returns:

true when the objects are identical.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object
