Constructor Detail

HugeBitString

public HugeBitString()

The default constructor creates an empty bit string

HugeBitString

public HugeBitString(ByteStorage value)

Construct from a ByteStorage object. The significant bits are set to the number of octets in the ByteStorage multiplied by 8.

Parameters:

value - the ByteStorage to set this object to.

HugeBitString

public HugeBitString(ByteStorage value,
                     int sigBits)

Construct from a ByteStorage object with the specified number of significant bits.

Parameters:

value - the ByteStorage to set this object to.

sigBits - the number of significant bits.

Method Detail

setValue

public final void setValue(ByteStorage value)

Set the value of this object to a ByteStorage object. The significant bits are set to the number of octets in the ByteStorage multiplied by 8.

Overrides:

setValue in class HugeBinaryString

Parameters:

value - the ByteStorage to set this object to.

setValue

public final void setValue(ByteStorage value,
                           int sigBits)

Set the value of this object to a ByteStorage object.

Parameters:

value - the value to set this object to.

sigBits - the number of significant bits.

getSize

public final int getSize()

Get the number of significant bits of 'this' BitString object.

Returns:

integer value indicating the number of significant bits.

equalTo

public final boolean equalTo(HugeBitString that)

Compare 'this' object to another HugeBitString object to see if their contents are the same. If the ASN.1 definition of the BIT STRING has named bits then the comparison ignores trailing zero bits in the BIT STRING value.

Parameters:

that - the HugeBitString object to compare 'this' object to.

Returns:

true if contents of both objects are the same.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Clone 'this' object.

Overrides:

clone in class HugeBinaryString

Returns:

deep copy of 'this' object.
