The get() method of java.security.Provider class is used to return the value to which the specified key is mapped, or null if this map contains no mapping for the key.
More formally, if this map contains a mapping from a key k to a value v such that (key.equals(k)), then this method returns v; otherwise it returns null. (There can be at most one such mapping.)
Syntax:
public Object get(Object key)
Parameters: This method takes the key as a parameter whose associated value is to be returned.
Return Value: This method returns the value to which the specified key is mapped, or null if this map contains no mapping for the key.
Below are the examples to illustrate the get() method:
Example 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// get() method import java.security.*;import java.util.*; public class GFG1 { public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception { // Declaring int values int i = 10, j = 10; try { // creating the object of KeyPairGenerator KeyPairGenerator sr = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("DSA", "SUN"); // getting the Provider of the KeyPairGenerator sr // by using method getProvider() Provider provider = sr.getProvider(); // Declaring the variable of set<Map> type Set<Object> set; // getting unmodifiable Set view of the property entries set = provider.keySet(); // Creating the object of iterator to iterate set Iterator iter = set.iterator(); while (i > 0) { // getting the mapped value in element // using get() method Object element = provider.get(iter.next()); // printing the mapped value System.out.println("value is : " + element); i--; } } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } }} |
Output:
value is : SHA1withDSA value is : SHA1withDSA value is : SHA1withDSA value is : Software value is : sun.security.provider.JavaKeyStore$DualFormatJKS value is : SHA value is : sun.security.provider.SHA value is : sun.security.provider.JavaKeyStore$CaseExactJKS value is : Software value is : sun.security.provider.DSA$SHA256withDSA
Example 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// get() method import java.security.*;import java.util.*; public class GFG1 { public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception { try { // creating the object of KeyPairGenerator KeyPairGenerator sr = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("DSA", "SUN"); // getting the Provider of the KeyPairGenerator sr // by using method getProvider() Provider provider = sr.getProvider(); // getting the mapped value in element // using get() method System.out.println("Trying to get the value of an unmapped key"); Object element = provider.get("geeks"); // printing the mapped value System.out.println("value is : " + element); } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } }} |
Output:
Trying to get the value of an unmapped key value is : null
