X509StreamParser

extends Object
implements StreamParser
java.lang.Object
   ↳ org.bouncycastle.x509.X509StreamParser

Class Overview

This class allows access to different implementations for reading X.509 objects from streams.

A X509StreamParser is used to read a collection of objects or a single object of a certain X.509 object structure. E.g. one X509StreamParser can read certificates, another one CRLs, certification paths, attribute certificates and so on. The kind of object structure is specified with the algorithm parameter to the getInstance methods.

Implementations must implement the X509StreamParserSpi.

public static X509StreamParser getInstance (String type)

Generates a StreamParser object that implements the specified type. If the default provider package provides an implementation of the requested type, an instance of StreamParser containing that implementation is returned. If the type is not available in the default package, other packages are searched.

Parameters
type The name of the requested X.509 object type.
Returns
  • a StreamParser object for the specified type.
Throws
NoSuchParserException if the requested type is not available in the default provider package or any of the other provider packages that were searched.
