- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### RoleSyntax

          public RoleSyntax​(GeneralNames roleAuthority,
                            GeneralName roleName)

      Constructor.
      Parameters:
        `roleAuthority` - the role authority of this RoleSyntax.
        `roleName` - the role name of this RoleSyntax.

    - #### RoleSyntax

          public RoleSyntax​(GeneralName roleName)

      Constructor. Invoking this constructor is the same as invoking `new RoleSyntax(null, roleName)`.
      Parameters:
        `roleName` - the role name of this RoleSyntax.

    - #### RoleSyntax

          public RoleSyntax​(java.lang.String roleName)

      Utility constructor. Takes a `String` argument representing the role name, builds a `GeneralName` to hold the role name and calls the constructor that takes a `GeneralName`.
      Parameters:
        `roleName` -

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getInstance

          public static RoleSyntax getInstance​(java.lang.Object obj)

      RoleSyntax factory method.
      Parameters:
        `obj` - the object used to construct an instance of `RoleSyntax`. It must be an instance of `RoleSyntax` or `ASN1Sequence`.
      Returns:
        the instance of `RoleSyntax` built from the supplied object.
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the object passed to the factory is not an instance of `RoleSyntax` or `ASN1Sequence`.

    - #### getRoleAuthority

          public GeneralNames getRoleAuthority()

      Gets the role authority of this RoleSyntax.
      Returns:
        an instance of `GeneralNames` holding the role authority of this RoleSyntax.

    - #### getRoleName

          public GeneralName getRoleName()

      Gets the role name of this RoleSyntax.
      Returns:
        an instance of `GeneralName` holding the role name of this RoleSyntax.

    - #### getRoleNameAsString

          public java.lang.String getRoleNameAsString()

      Gets the role name as a `java.lang.String` object.
      Returns:
        the role name of this RoleSyntax represented as a `java.lang.String` object.

    - #### getRoleAuthorityAsString

          public java.lang.String[] getRoleAuthorityAsString()

      Gets the role authority as a `String[]` object.
      Returns:
        the role authority of this RoleSyntax represented as a `String[]` array.

    - #### toASN1Primitive

          public ASN1Primitive toASN1Primitive()

      Implementation of the method `toASN1Object` as required by the superclass `ASN1Encodable`.

           RoleSyntax ::= SEQUENCE {
                           roleAuthority  [0] GeneralNames OPTIONAL,
                           roleName       [1] GeneralName
                     }

      Specified by:
        `toASN1Primitive` in interface `ASN1Encodable`
      Specified by:
        `toASN1Primitive` in class `ASN1Object`
      Returns:
        a primitive representation of this object.
