Method Detail

getInstance

public static DERVisibleString getInstance(java.lang.Object obj)

Deprecated. Use ASN1VisibleString.getInstance(Object) instead.

Return a Visible String from the passed in object.

Parameters:

obj - a DERVisibleString or an object that can be converted into one.

Returns:

a DERVisibleString instance, or null

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be converted.

getInstance

public static DERVisibleString getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj,
                                           boolean explicit)

Deprecated. Use ASN1VisibleString.getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject, boolean) instead.

Return a Visible String from a tagged object.

Parameters:

obj - the tagged object holding the object we want

explicit - true if the object is meant to be explicitly tagged false otherwise.

Returns:

a DERVisibleString instance, or null

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the tagged object cannot be converted.
