Method Detail

getChosenFlag

public final int getChosenFlag()

Get an integer value indicating which component of the CHOICE is chosen.

Returns:

integer value that indicates the chosen component.

getChosenValue

public AbstractData getChosenValue()

Get the value of the chosen component of the CHOICE.

Returns:

AbstractData object that is the chosen component.

equalTo

public final boolean equalTo(Choice that)

Compare 'this' object to another Choice object to see if their contents are the same.

Parameters:

that - the Choice 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 ASN1Object

Returns:

deep copy of 'this' object.

hasUnknownExtension

public boolean hasUnknownExtension()

Checks if the object is the result of decoding an unknown extension of extensible CHOICE type. The method must be overridden by subclasses which represent extensible CHOICE types. This method simply returns 'false' for non-extensible types.

Returns:

false

delete

public void delete()

Destroy the instance of the AbstractData. The contract of this method is to facilitate garbage collection by explicit destruction of the data that is no longer needed.

Overrides:

delete in class AbstractData

getTypeName

public java.lang.String getTypeName()

Returns the name of ASN.1 type this java class represents.

Overrides:

getTypeName in class AbstractData

Returns:

the name of the ASN.1 type.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code for this object

Overrides:

hashCode in class AbstractData

Returns:

a hash code for this object
