public class NamedValues

extends java.lang.Object

Provides support for extracting fields from a name pair string, such as x509 distinguised/issuer names Eg. "DN= Charlie Smith, email=charlie@abc.com" would build a hash table with (DN,Charlie Smith) and (email, charlie@abc.com) and one could search for the value associated with DN or email.
