## org.ietf.jgss
Class Oid

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--org.ietf.jgss.Oid

public class Oid
extends Object

This class represents Universal Object Identifiers (Oids) and their associated operations.

Oids are hierarchically globally-interpretable identifiers used within the GSS-API framework to identify mechanisms and name formats.

The structure and encoding of Oids is defined in ISOIEC-8824 and ISOIEC-8825. For example the Oid representation of Kerberos V5 mechanism is "1.2.840.113554.1.2.2"

The GSSName name class contains public static Oid objects representing the standard name types defined in GSS-API.

Since:
  1.4

Constructor Summary
`Oid(byte[] data)` Creates an Oid object from its ASN.1 DER encoding.
`Oid(InputStream derOid)` Creates an Oid object from its ASN.1 DER encoding.
`Oid(String strOid)` Constructs an Oid object from a string representation of its integer components.

Method Summary
`boolean` | `containedIn(Oid[] oids)` A utility method to test if this Oid value is contained within the supplied Oid array.
`boolean` | `equals(Object other)` Tests if two Oid objects represent the same Object identifier value.
`byte[]` | `getDER()` Returns the full ASN.1 DER encoding for this oid object, which includes the tag and length.
`int` | `hashCode()` Returns a hashcode value for this Oid.
`String` | `toString()` Returns a string representation of the oid's integer components in dot separated notation.

Constructor Detail

### Oid

    public Oid(String strOid)
        throws GSSException

  Constructs an Oid object from a string representation of its integer components.

Parameters:
  `strOid` - the dot separated string representation of the oid. For instance, "1.2.840.113554.1.2.2".
Throws:
  `GSSException` - may be thrown when the string is incorrectly formatted

### Oid

    public Oid(InputStream derOid)
        throws GSSException

  Creates an Oid object from its ASN.1 DER encoding. This refers to the full encoding including tag and length. The structure and encoding of Oids is defined in ISOIEC-8824 and ISOIEC-8825. This method is identical in functionality to its byte array counterpart.

Parameters:
  `derOid` - stream containing the DER encoded oid
Throws:
  `GSSException` - may be thrown when the DER encoding does not follow the prescribed format.

### Oid

    public Oid(byte[] data)
        throws GSSException

  Creates an Oid object from its ASN.1 DER encoding. This refers to the full encoding including tag and length. The structure and encoding of Oids is defined in ISOIEC-8824 and ISOIEC-8825. This method is identical in functionality to its InputStream conterpart.

Parameters:
  `data` - byte array containing the DER encoded oid
Throws:
  `GSSException` - may be thrown when the DER encoding does not follow the prescribed format.

Method Detail

### toString

    public String toString()

  Returns a string representation of the oid's integer components in dot separated notation.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Object`
  Returns:
    string representation in the following format: "1.2.3.4.5"

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object other)

  Tests if two Oid objects represent the same Object identifier value.

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`
  Parameters:
    `other` - the Oid object that has to be compared to this one
  Returns:
    `true` if the two Oid objects represent the same value, `false` otherwise.
  See Also:
    `Object.hashCode()`, `Hashtable`

### getDER

    public byte[] getDER()
                  throws GSSException

  Returns the full ASN.1 DER encoding for this oid object, which includes the tag and length.

  Returns:
    byte array containing the DER encoding of this oid object.
  Throws:
    `GSSException` - may be thrown when the oid can't be encoded

### containedIn

    public boolean containedIn(Oid[] oids)

  A utility method to test if this Oid value is contained within the supplied Oid array.

  Parameters:
    `oids` - the array of Oid's to search
  Returns:
    true if the array contains this Oid value, false otherwise

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Returns a hashcode value for this Oid.

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Object`
  Returns:
    a hashCode value
  See Also:
    `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)`, `Hashtable`
