Constructor Summary

Constructors

Constructor and Description
Time(ASN1Primitive time)
Time(java.util.Date time) Creates a time object from a given date - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used.
Time(java.util.Date time, java.util.Locale locale) Creates a time object from a given date and locale - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used.

Constructor Detail

Time

public Time(ASN1Primitive time)

Time

public Time(java.util.Date time)

Creates a time object from a given date - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used.

Parameters:

time - a date object representing the time of interest.

Time

public Time(java.util.Date time,
    java.util.Locale locale)

Creates a time object from a given date and locale - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used. You may need to use this constructor if the default locale doesn't use a Gregorian calender so that the GeneralizedTime produced is compatible with other ASN.1 implementations.

Parameters:

time - a date object representing the time of interest.

locale - an appropriate Locale for producing an ASN.1 GeneralizedTime value.

Method Detail

getDate

toASN1Primitive

public ASN1Primitive toASN1Primitive()

Produce an object suitable for an ASN1OutputStream.
