Constructor Summary

Constructors
Constructor	Description
`Time(java.util.Date time)`	Creates a time object from a given date - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used.
`Time(java.util.Date time, java.util.Locale locale)`	Creates a time object from a given date and locale - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used.
`Time(ASN1Primitive time)`

```
public Time(ASN1Primitive time)
```
  - Time
```
public Time(java.util.Date time)
```
    Creates a time object from a given date - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used.
    
    Parameters:
    
    time - a date object representing the time of interest.
  - Time
```
public Time(java.util.Date time,
            java.util.Locale locale)
```
    Creates a time object from a given date and locale - if the date is between 1950 and 2049 a UTCTime object is generated, otherwise a GeneralizedTime is used. You may need to use this constructor if the default locale doesn't use a Gregorian calender so that the GeneralizedTime produced is compatible with other ASN.1 implementations.
    
    Parameters:
    
    time - a date object representing the time of interest.
    
    locale - an appropriate Locale for producing an ASN.1 GeneralizedTime value.
