X509IssuerSerial (Java Platform SE 6)

This documentation differs from the official API. Jadeite adds extra features to the API including: variable font sizes, constructions examples, placeholders for classes and methods, and auto-generated “See Also” links. Additionally it is missing some items found in standard Javadoc documentation, including: generics type information, “Deprecated” tags and comments, “See Also” links, along with other minor differences.

interface X509IssuerSerial

All Superinterfaces:: XMLStructure

public interface X509IssuerSerial
extends XMLStructure

A representation of the XML X509IssuerSerial element as defined in the W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing. An X509IssuerSerial object contains an X.509 issuer distinguished name (DN) and serial number pair. The XML schema definition is defined as:

   <element name="X509IssuerSerial" type="ds:X509IssuerSerialType"/>
   <complexType name="X509IssuerSerialType">
     <sequence>
       <element name="X509IssuerName" type="string"/> 
       <element name="X509SerialNumber" type="integer"/> 
     </sequence>  
   </complexType>

An X509IssuerSerial instance may be created by invoking the {@link KeyInfoFactory#newX509IssuerSerial newX509IssuerSerial} method of the {@link KeyInfoFactory} class, and passing it a String and BigInteger representing the X.500 DN and serial number. Here is an example of creating an X509IssuerSerial from the issuer DN and serial number of an existing {@link X509Certificate}:

 KeyInfoFactory factory = KeyInfoFactory.getInstance("DOM");
 X509IssuerSerial issuer = factory.newX509IssuerSerial
     (cert.getIssuerX500Principal().getName(), cert.getSerialNumber());

Method Summary
`String`	`getIssuerName()` Returns the X.500 distinguished name of this `X509IssuerSerial` in RFC 2253 String format.
`BigInteger`	`getSerialNumber()` Returns the serial number of this `X509IssuerSerial`.
