  • Constructor Details

    • BasicControl

      public BasicControl(String id)
      Constructs a non-critical control.
      Parameters:
      id - The control's object identifier string.

      Parameters:
      id - The control's object identifier string.
      criticality - The control's criticality.
      value - The control's ASN.1 BER encoded value. It is not cloned - any changes to value will affect the contents of the control. It may be null.

      true if the control is critical; false otherwise.
    • getEncodedValue

      public byte[] getEncodedValue()
      Retrieves the control's ASN.1 BER encoded value. The result includes the BER tag and length for the control's value but does not include the control's object identifier and criticality setting.
      Specified by:
      getEncodedValue in interface Control
      Returns:
      A possibly null byte array representing the control's ASN.1 BER encoded value. It is not cloned - any changes to the returned value will affect the contents of the control.
