public class PrimitiveBERTLV
extends BERTLV

The PrimitiveBERTLV class encapsulates a primitive BER TLV structure. It extends the generic BERTLV class. The rules on the allowed encoding of the Tag, length and value fields is based on the ASN.1 BER encoding rules ISO/IEC 8825-1:2002.

The PrimitiveBERTLV class only supports encoding of the length(L) octets in definite form. The value(V) field which encodes the contents octets are merely viewed as a series of bytes.

Every PrimitiveBERTLV has a capacity which represents the allocated internal buffer to represent the Value of this TLV object. As long as the number of bytes required to represent the Value of the TLV object does not exceed the capacity, it is not necessary to allocate additional internal buffer space. If the internal buffer overflows, and the implementation supports automatic expansion which might require new data allocation and possibly old data/object deletion, it is automatically made larger. Otherwise a TLVException is thrown.

The BERTLV class and the subclasses ConstructedBERTLV and PrimitiveBERTLV, also provide static methods to parse or edit a TLV structure representation in a byte array.

Constructor Detail

PrimitiveBERTLV

public PrimitiveBERTLV(short numValueBytes)
Constructor creates an empty PrimitiveBERTLV object capable of encapsulating a Primitive BER TLV structure.

The initial capacity is specified by the numValueBytes argument.

Parameters:
numValueBytes - is the number of Value bytes to allocate
Throws:
TLVException - with the following reason codes:
  • TLVException.INVALID_PARAM if numValueBytes parameter is negative or larger than the maximum capacity supported by the implementation.
Method Detail

init

public short init(byte[] bArray,
                  short bOff,
                  short bLen)
           throws TLVException
(Re-)Initializes this PrimitiveBERTLV using the input byte data.

If this primitive TLV object is empty, the initial capacity of this PrimitiveBERTLV is set to the byte length of the Value represented in the primitive TLV structure of the input byte array.

Note:

Specified by:
init in class BERTLV
Parameters:

bOff - offset within byte array containing the TLV data
bLen - byte length of input data
Returns:
the resulting size of this TLV if represented in bytes
Throws:
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if accessing the input array would cause access of data outside array bounds, or if the array offset or array length parameter is negative
NullPointerException - if bArray is null
TLVException - with the following reason codes:
  • TLVException.INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE if the required capacity is not available and the implementation does not support automatic expansion.

           throws TLVException
(Re-)Initializes this PrimitiveBERTLV object with the input tag, length and data. Note that a reference to the BER Tag object is retained by this object. A change in the BER Tag object contents affects this TLV instance.
