Method Detail

decode

protected void decode(Asn1BerDecodeBuffer buffer,
                      boolean explicit,
                      int implicitLength,
                      Asn1Tag tag)
               throws Asn1Exception,
                      java.io.IOException

This method decodes an ASN.1 character string value including the UNIVERSAL tag value and length if explicit tagging is specified. It is a protected method that can only be accessed by objects subclassed from this type. Since character strings in Java are encoded in two bytes by default, this method explicitly takes the lower byte from the ASN.1-byte to Java-character conversion.

Parameters:

buffer - Decode message buffer object

explicit - Flag indicating element is explicitly tagged

implicitLength - Length of contents if implicit

Throws:

Asn1Exception

java.io.IOException

encode

protected int encode(Asn1BerEncodeBuffer buffer,
                     boolean explicit,
                     Asn1Tag tag)
              throws Asn1Exception

This method encodes ASN.1 8-bit character string types including IA5String, PrintableString, NumericString, etc. The UNIVERSAL tag value and length is also encoded if explicit tagging is specified (the universal identifier must be provided by the caller).

Parameters:

buffer - Encode message buffer object

explicit - Flag indicating explicit tagging should be done

tag - Universal tag to apply

Returns:

Length in octets of encoded component

Throws:

Asn1Exception

decode

protected void decode(Asn1PerDecodeBuffer buffer,

                      int ubpc,
                      Asn1CharSet charSet)
               throws Asn1Exception,
                      java.io.IOException

This method decodes an ASN.1 character string value in accordance with the packed encoding rules (PER). This version of the method assumes that a permitted alphabet constraint has been specified that would reduce the the number of bits-per-character from the default character set. It also assumes a general length determinant is present (i.e. there is not size constraint). The decoded result is stored in the public value member variable.

Parameters:

buffer - Decode message buffer object

abpc - Number of bits per character (aligned)

ubpc - Number of bits per character (unaligned)

charSet - Object representing the permitted alphabet constraint character set (optional)

Throws:

Asn1Exception

java.io.IOException

                      Asn1CharSet charSet,
                      long lower,
                      long upper)
