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() method import 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() method import 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
