Class Cause

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    DataObject, FastSerializable, Serializable

    public final class Cause
    extends AbstractLazyEncodedByteArray
    implements FastSerializable
    Class Cause represents diagnostic information. It represents the ASN.1 OCTET STRING type Core-INAP-CS1-DataTypes.Cause.

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

     Cause ::= SEQUENCE {
       codingStandard CodingStandard,
       location       Location,
       recommendation Recommendation OPTIONAL,
       causeValue     CauseValue,
       diagnostics    OCTET STRING
     }
    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.

    Data Encoding - based on ITU-T Q.763 (12/1999) §3.12 p26, ITU-T Q.850 (05/98) §2.1 p1, and 3GPP TS 24.008 V4.17.0 (2007-09) §10.5.4.11 pp368-373

    Octet 3a*ext. 1Recommendation
    Octet 4ext. 1Cause value
    Octet 5..Diagnostic(s) if any

    The octet numbering in the above table is that used in 3GPP TS 24.008 V4.17.0 (2007-09). Octet 3a is optional, its presence being indicated by ext 0 in octet 3, and its default value being Q.931.

      • Cause

        public Cause()
        Constructs a new Cause object with no fields set.
      • Cause

        public Cause​(byte[] data)
        Constructs a new Cause object from network-encoded data. The data is not decoded and might not be decodable.
        Parameters:
        data - network-encoded data
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if data is null
      • Cause

        public Cause​(byte[] data,
                     int start,
                     int len)
        Constructs a new Cause object from part of network-encoded data. The part starts at index start and is len bytes long. The data is not decoded and might not be decodable.
        Parameters:
        data - network-encoded data
        start - starting offset of network-encoded data in byte array
        len - default length if not predictable
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if data is null
        IllegalArgumentException - if len is negative
      • Cause

        public Cause​(Cause.CauseValue causeValue)
        Constructs a new Cause object from the given argument, with a CodingStandard of ITU_T, a Location of USER, a null Recommendation, and no diagnostics.
        Parameters:
        causeValue - the cause. The value should be taken from one of the constants defined in this class if the coding standard is Cause.CodingStandard.ITU_T.
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if causeValue is null
      • Cause

        public Cause​(Cause.CodingStandard codingStandard,
                     Cause.Location location,
                     Cause.Recommendation recommendation,
                     Cause.CauseValue causeValue,
                     byte[] diagnostics)
        Constructs a new Cause object from the given arguments.
        Parameters:
        codingStandard - the coding standard by which the cause indicator is encoded
        location - the location of the cause
        recommendation - the recommendation of the cause
        causeValue - the cause
        diagnostics - any diagnostics associated with the cause. Refer ITU-T Q.850 for encoding of diagnostic information. Not all causes permit and not all protocols support diagnostic information, in which case null is an acceptable parameter value, and is treated as if a zero-length byte array had been supplied.

        len - length in data to be considered
        Returns:
