Class EncodedStringWithIndicators

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    DataObject, FastSerializable, Serializable

    public final class EncodedStringWithIndicators
    extends AbstractLazyEncodedByteArray
    implements FastSerializable
    Class EncodedStringWithIndicators represents the encoded form of a string field.

    The API offered by this class is as if the type were specified in ASN.1 as follows.

     EncodedStringWithIndicators ::= SEQUENCE {
         data       OCTET STRING,
         indicators StringIndicators
     }
    The class takes care of encoding the field values into a byte-array and decoding field values from a byte-array, the encoded representation being as tabulated below.

                              throws DecodeException
        Tests whether the field Indicators has a value.
        Returns:
        whether the field has a value
        Throws:
        DecodeException - if encoded state cannot be decoded
      • getData

        public byte[] getData()
                       throws DecodeException
        Gets the value of the encoded octet string.
        Returns:
        byte[] representation of the encoded octet string
        Throws:
        DecodeException - if encoded state cannot be decoded
      • getIndicators

        public StringIndicators getIndicators()
                                       throws DecodeException
        Gets the value of the indicators.
        Returns:
        StringIndicators representation of the indicators
        Throws:
        DecodeException - if encoded state cannot be decoded
      • copyOf

        public static EncodedStringWithIndicators copyOf​(EncodedStringWithIndicators from)
        Creates a new object of this type, cloning the values of common fields from the given object of any subclass of the same base type.
        Parameters:
        from - the object from which to copy
        Returns:
        EncodedStringWithIndicators
      • getFieldAccessors

        public static FieldAccessor[] getFieldAccessors()
        Gets a new array of the accessors for fields of this type.
        Returns:

      • getFieldsMap

        public Map<String,​Object> getFieldsMap​(boolean withAbsents)
        Gets a Map from field-name to field-value for the fields of a sequence. For a field of primitive type, the field-value is boxed. For an absent optional field, the field-value is AbstractFieldsObject.FIELD_ABSENT. For an uninitialised mandatory field, the field-value is AbstractFieldsObject.FIELD_UNINITIALISED. For a field of String type, the encoded form is used if the String cannot be decoded. For a type that represents an OCTET STRING that cannot be decoded, a map from "encodedValue" to the byte array value is returned.
        Specified by:
        getFieldsMap in class AbstractFieldsObject
        Parameters:
        withAbsents - whether to put absent optional fields into Map

      • getContainedLength

        public static int getContainedLength​(byte[] data,

                                             int len)
        Determines the length of the encoded value that commences at offset start in the given data. The value is not fully decoded and might not be decodable. Values of this type are of variable length, so the given length is returned if the data is long enough, otherwise 0 is returned.
        Parameters:
        data - network-encoded data
        start - index into data where value commences
        len - length in data to be considered
        Returns:
        len, or 0 if encoded value is not long enough
