public class NetscapeCertRenewalURL

extends X509V3Extension

implements Cloneable, Serializable, CertExtension

This class builds and holds the NetscapeCertRenewalURL extension. It is a relative or absolute URL that points to a certificate renewal form. The value is an IA5String. The renewal form will be accessed with an HTTP GET method that uses a URL that is the concatenation of renewal-url and certificate-serial-number, where the certificate-serial-number is encoded as a string of ASCII hexadecimal digits. For example, if the netscape-base-url is https://www.certs-r-us.com/, the netscape-cert-renewal-url is cgi-bin/check-renew.cgi?, and the certificate serial number is 173420, the resulting URL would be https://www.certs-r-us.com/cgi-bin/check-renew.cgi?02a56c. The returned document should be an HTML form that can be used to request a renewal for a certificate.

The ASN.1 definition is as follows:

 netscape OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 2 16 840 1 113730 } 
 netscape-cert-extension OBJECT IDENTIFIER :: = { netscape 1 } 
 netscape-cert-renewal-url OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { netscape-cert-extension 7 } 
 

When the URL includes the certificate serial number, the serial number will be encoded as a string that consists of an even number of hexadecimal digits. If the number of significant digits is odd, then the string will have a single, leading zero to ensure that an even number of digits is generated.

Constructor Detail

NetscapeCertRenewalURL

public NetscapeCertRenewalURL()

Constructs an empty NetscapeCertRenewalURL object.

NetscapeCertRenewalURL

public NetscapeCertRenewalURL(String renewalURL,
                              boolean criticality)

Constructs a NetscapeCertRenewalURL object and initializes it with the given values and the specified criticality.

Parameters

	renewalURL		The Netscape certificate renewal URL value.
	criticality		The user-specified criticality.

Method Detail

decodeValue

public void decodeValue(byte[] valueBER,
                        int offset)
                 throws CertificateException

Decode the value. The input is the BER encoding that was wrapped in the OCTET STRING.

Overrides

decodeValue in class X509V3Extension

Parameters

	valueBER		The BER encoding of the extension's value.
	offset		The offset into valueBER where the encoding begins.

Throws

CertificateException - If the encoding is invalid for this extension.

setCertRenewalURL

public void setCertRenewalURL(String renewalURL)

Sets the certificate renewal URL string.

Parameters

A

String that contains a relative or absolute URL that points to a certificate renewal form.

getCertRenewalURL

public String getCertRenewalURL()

Gets the certificate renewal URL string.

Returns

renewalURL The String that contains a relative or absolute URL that points to a certificate renewal form.

derEncodeValueInit

public int derEncodeValueInit()

Initialize for encoding the value.

Overrides

derEncodeValueInit in class X509V3Extension

Returns

How many bytes the encoding will be.

derEncodeValue

public int derEncodeValue(byte[] encoding,
                          int offset)

Place the encoding of the value into encoding, beginning at offset. This is the actual contents that are wrapped in the OCTET STRING (not the surrounding OCTET STRING tag and length).

Overrides

derEncodeValue in class X509V3Extension

Parameters

	encoding		The byte array into which the result will be placed.
	offset		The offest into encoding where the writing is to begin.

Returns

The number of bytes actually placed into encoding.

clone

public Object clone()
             throws CloneNotSupportedException

Overrides the default clone method to get a deeper clone.

Overrides

clone in class X509V3Extension

Returns

A new NetscapeCertRenewalURL object, a copy of this object.

Throws

CloneNotSupportedException - If the cloning operation is not successful.
