Constructor Detail

BEROctetStringGenerator

public BEROctetStringGenerator(OutputStream out)
                        throws IOException

Use the passed in stream as the target for the generator, writing out the header tag for a constructed OCTET STRING.

Parameters:

out - target stream

Throws:

IOException - if the target stream cannot be written to.

BEROctetStringGenerator

public BEROctetStringGenerator(OutputStream out,
                               int tagNo,
                               boolean isExplicit)
                        throws IOException

Use the passed in stream as the target for the generator, writing out the header tag for a tagged constructed OCTET STRING (possibly implicit).

Parameters:

out - target stream

tagNo - the tag number to introduce

isExplicit - true if this is an explicitly tagged object, false otherwise.

Throws:

IOException - if the target stream cannot be written to.

Method Detail

getOctetOutputStream

public OutputStream getOctetOutputStream()

Return a stream representing the content target for this OCTET STRING

Returns:

an OutputStream which chunks data in blocks of 1000 (CER limit).

getOctetOutputStream

public OutputStream getOctetOutputStream(byte[] buf)

Return a stream representing the content target for this OCTET STRING

Parameters:

buf - the buffer to use for chunking the data.

Returns:

an OutputStream which chunks data in blocks of buf length.
