Class Oid

public class Oid
extends Object

This class implement an Oid (Object Identifier).

An Oid is encoded as a list of bytes representing integers.

An Oid has a numeric representation where number are separated with dots :
SPNEGO Oid = 1.3.6.1.5.5.2

Translating from a byte list to a dot separated list of number follows the rules :

• the first number is in [0..2]
• the second number is in [0..39] if the first number is 0 or 1
• the first byte has a value equal to : number 1 * 40 + number two
• the upper bit of a byte is set if the next byte is a part of the number

For instance, the SPNEGO Oid (1.3.6.1.5.5.2) will be encoded :

 1.3 -> 0x2B (1*40 + 3 = 43 = 0x2B)
 .6  -> 0x06
 .1  -> 0x01
 .5  -> 0x05
 .5  -> 0x05
 .2  -> 0x02
 

The Kerberos V5 Oid (1.2.840.48018.1.2.2) will be encoded :

 1.2   -> 0x2A (1*40 + 2 = 42 = 0x2A)
 840   -> 0x86 0x48 (840 = 6 * 128 + 72 = (0x06 | 0x80) 0x48 = 0x86 0x48
 48018 -> 0x82 0xF7 0x12 (2 * 128 * 128 + 119 * 128 + 18 = (0x02 | 0x80) (0x77 | 0x80) 0x12
 .1    -> 0x01
 .2    -> 0x02
 .2    -> 0x02

Constructor Detail

Oid

public Oid()

Creates a new Oid object.

Oid

public Oid(byte[] oid)
    throws DecoderException

Create a new Oid object from a byte array

Parameters:

oid - the byte array containing the Oid

Throws:

DecoderException - if the byte array does not contain a valid Oid

Oid

public Oid(String oid)
    throws DecoderException

Create a new Oid object from a String

Parameters:

oid - The String which is supposed to be an Oid

Throws:

DecoderException - if the byte array does not contain a valid Oid

Method Detail

setOid

public void setOid(byte[] oid)
            throws DecoderException

Set the Oid. It will be translated from a byte array to an internal representation.

Parameters:

oid - The bytes containing the Oid

Throws:

DecoderException - if the byte array does not contains a valid Oid

setOid

public void setOid(String oid)
            throws DecoderException

Set the Oid. It will be translated from a String to an internal representation. The syntax will be controled in respect with this rule : Oid = ( [ '0' | '1' ] '.' [ 0 .. 39 ] | '2' '.' int) ( '.' int )*

Parameters:

oid - The String containing the Oid

Throws:

DecoderException - if the byte array does not contains a valid Oid

getOidValues

public long[] getOidValues()

Get an array of long from the Oid

Returns:

An array of long representing the Oid

getOidLength

public int getOidLength()

Get the number of bytes necessary to store the Oid

Returns:

An int representing the length of the Oid

getOid

public byte[] getOid()

Get an array of bytes from the Oid

Returns:

An array of int representing the Oid

isOid

public static boolean isOid(String oid)

Check that an Oid is valid

Parameters:

oid - The oid to be checked

Returns:

true if the Oid is valid

toString

public String toString()

Get the Oid as a String

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

A String representing the Oid

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object oid)

Overrides:

equals in class Object
