Constructor Detail

OctetStringKeyComparator

public OctetStringKeyComparator(java.util.Comparator<byte[]> comparator)

Create a new ASN1 octet string comparator.

Parameters:

comparator - The byte array comparator to be used to compare the octet string values.

Method Detail

compare

public int compare(ASN1OctetString a,
                   ASN1OctetString b)
            throws java.lang.ClassCastException

Compares its two arguments for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.

Specified by:

compare in interface java.util.Comparator<ASN1OctetString>

Parameters:

a - the first object to be compared.

b - the second object to be compared.

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.

Throws:

java.lang.ClassCastException - if the arguments' types prevent them from being compared by this Comparator.
