The getType() method of java.security.Provider.Service class provides the type of the provider service.
Syntax:
public final String getType()
Return Value: This method provides specific type of provider service.
Below are the examples to illustrate the getType() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// getType() methodimport java.security.*;import java.util.*;public class GFG1 { public static void main(String[] argv) { try { // creating the object of Signature Signature sr = Signature.getInstance( "SHA1withDSA", "SUN"); // getting the Provider of the Signature sr // by using method getProvider() Provider provider = sr.getProvider(); // getting the service of the provider // using getServices() method Provider.Service service = provider .getService("Signature", sr.getAlgorithm()); // getting type of Provider.Service object // by using getType() method String name = service.getType(); // display the result System.out.println("Name of the type : " + name); } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } catch (NoSuchProviderException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } }} |
Output:
Name of the type : Signature
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// getType() methodimport java.security.*;import java.util.*;public class GFG1 { public static void main(String[] argv) { try { // creating object of MessageDigest MessageDigest msd = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5"); // getting the Provider of the Signature sr // by using method getProvider() Provider provider = msd.getProvider(); // getting the service of the provider // using getServices() method Provider.Service service = provider .getService("MessageDigest", msd.getAlgorithm()); // getting type of Provider.Service object // by using getType() method String name = service.getType(); // display the result System.out.println("Name of the type : " + name); } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } }} |
Output:
Name of the type : MessageDigest
