Constructor Summary

Asn1GeneralString()
The default constructor creates an empty string object.

Asn1GeneralString(java.lang.String data)
This version of the constructor can be used to set the string value member variable to the given string value.

Method Summary

void	decode(Asn1BerDecodeBuffer buffer, boolean explicit, int implicitLength) This method decodes an ASN.1 string value including the UNIVERSAL tag value and length if explicit tagging is specified.
int	encode(Asn1BerEncodeBuffer buffer, boolean explicit) This method encodes an ASN.1 string type.
void	encode(Asn1BerOutputStream out, boolean explicit) This method encodes and writes to the stream an ASN.1 general string value including the UNIVERSAL tag value and length if explicit tagging is specified.

Field Detail

TAG

public static final Asn1Tag TAG

The TAG constant describes the universal tag for this data type (UNIVERSAL 27).

Constructor Detail

Asn1GeneralString

public Asn1GeneralString()

The default constructor creates an empty string object.

Asn1GeneralString

public Asn1GeneralString(java.lang.String data)

This version of the constructor can be used to set the string value member variable to the given string value.

Parameters:

data - Character string

Method Detail

decode

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

This method decodes an ASN.1 string value including the UNIVERSAL tag value and length if explicit tagging is specified.

Specified by:

decode in interface Asn1TypeIF

Overrides:

decode in class Asn1Type

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

public int encode(Asn1BerEncodeBuffer buffer,
                  boolean explicit)
           throws Asn1Exception

This method encodes an ASN.1 string type. The UNIVERSAL tag value and length is also encoded if explicit tagging is specified.

Specified by:

encode in interface Asn1TypeIF

Overrides:

encode in class Asn1Type

Parameters:

buffer - Encode message buffer object

explicit - Flag indicating explicit tagging should be done

Returns:

Length in octets of encoded component

Throws:

Asn1Exception

encode

public void encode(Asn1BerOutputStream out,
                   boolean explicit)
            throws Asn1Exception,
                   java.io.IOException

This method encodes and writes to the stream an ASN.1 general string value including the UNIVERSAL tag value and length if explicit tagging is specified. This overloaded version uses the Basic Encoding Rules (BER).

Specified by:

encode in interface Asn1TypeIF

Overrides:

encode in class Asn1Type

Parameters:

out - BER Output Stream object

explicit - Flag indicating explicit tagging should be done

Throws:

java.io.IOException - Any exception thrown by the underlying OutputStream.

Asn1Exception - Thrown, if operation is failed.
