Class Time

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Choice, org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Encodable, org.bouncycastle.util.Encodable

    public class Time
    extends org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Object
    implements org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Choice
    RFC 5652: Dual-mode timestamp format producing either UTCTIme or GeneralizedTime.

     Time ::= CHOICE {
         utcTime        UTCTime,
         generalTime    GeneralizedTime }
     

    This has a constructor using java.util.Date for input which generates a DERUTCTime object if the supplied datetime is in range 1950-01-01-00:00:00 UTC until 2049-12-31-23:59:60 UTC. If the datetime value is outside that range, the generated object will be DERGeneralizedTime.

      Constructors 
      Constructor Description
      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.

      • 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.

      • getInstance

        public static Time getInstance​(java.lang.Object obj)
        Return a Time object from the given object.

        Accepted inputs:

        • null → null
        • Time object
