OBJECT IDENTIFIER

---

The ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER type is converted to a Java class that extends the Asn1ObjectIdentifier run-time class. This base class encapsulates the following public member variable:

    public int[] value;
 

The number of subidentifiers to be encoded or that were decoded is specified in the built-in length component of the array object (i.e., value.length).

The following shows the basic mapping from ASN.1 type to Java class definition:

ASN.1 Production:	<name> ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER
Generated Java class:	public class <name> extends Asn1ObjectIdentifier { public <name> () { super(); } public <name> (int[] value_) { super (value_); } }

This shows the class generated for a simple OBJECT IDENTIFIER assignment. If a tagged or constrained type is specified, specific encode and decode methods will be generated as well.
