Class PlainHeader

java.lang.Object
  com.nimbusds.jose.Header
      com.nimbusds.jose.PlainHeader

All Implemented Interfaces:

ReadOnlyHeader, ReadOnlyPlainHeader

public class PlainHeader
extends Header
implements ReadOnlyPlainHeader

Plaintext JOSE header.

Supports all reserved header parameters of the plain specification:

• alg (set to "none").
• typ
• cty

The header may also carry custom parameters; these will be serialised and parsed along the reserved ones.

Example:

 {
   "alg" : "none"
 }

Constructor Detail

PlainHeader

public PlainHeader()

Creates a new plain header with algorithm none.

Method Detail

getReservedParameterNames

public static Set<String> getReservedParameterNames()

Gets the reserved parameter names for plain headers.

Returns:

The reserved parameter names, as an unmodifiable set.

getAlgorithm

public Algorithm getAlgorithm()

Description copied from interface: ReadOnlyPlainHeader

Gets the algorithm (alg) parameter.

Specified by:

getAlgorithm in interface ReadOnlyHeader

Specified by:

getAlgorithm in interface ReadOnlyPlainHeader

Returns:

Algorithm.NONE.

setCustomParameter

public void setCustomParameter(String name,
                               Object value)

Description copied from class: Header

Sets a custom (non-reserved) parameter. Callers and extending classes should ensure the parameter name doesn't match a reserved parameter name.

Overrides:

setCustomParameter in class Header

Parameters:

name - The name of the custom parameter. Must not match a reserved parameter name and must not be null.

value - The value of the custom parameter, should map to a valid JSON entity, null if not specified.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the specified parameter name matches a reserved parameter name.

getIncludedParameters

public Set<String> getIncludedParameters()

Description copied from interface: ReadOnlyHeader

Gets the names of all included parameters (reserved and custom) in the header instance.

Specified by:

getIncludedParameters in interface ReadOnlyHeader

Returns:

The included parameters.

parse

public static PlainHeader parse(net.minidev.json.JSONObject json)
                         throws ParseException

Parses a plain header from the specified JSON object.

Parameters:

json - The JSON object to parse. Must not be null.

Returns:

The plain header.

Throws:

ParseException - If the specified JSON object doesn't represent a valid plain header.

parse

public static PlainHeader parse(String s)
                         throws ParseException

Parses a plain header from the specified JSON string.

Parameters:

s - The JSON string to parse. Must not be null.

Returns:

The plain header.

Throws:

ParseException - If the specified JSON string doesn't represent a valid plain header.

parse

public static PlainHeader parse(Base64URL base64URL)
                         throws ParseException

Parses a plain header from the specified Base64URL.

Parameters:

base64URL - The Base64URL to parse. Must not be null.

Returns:

The plain header.

Throws:

ParseException - If the specified Base64URL doesn't represent a valid plain header.
