Class HighLayerCompatibility

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    DataObject, FastSerializable, Serializable

    public final class HighLayerCompatibility
    extends AbstractLazyEncodedByteArray
    implements FastSerializable
    Class HighLayerCompatibility supports a means for a remote user to perform compatibility checking. It represents the ASN.1 OCTET STRING type Core-INAP-CS1-DataTypes.HighLayerCompatibility.

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

     HighLayerCompatibility ::= SEQUENCE {
         codingStandard  CodingStandard,
         interpretation  Interpretation,
         presentation    Presentation,
         characteristics Characteristics
     }
    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.931 (05/98) §4.5.17 p78
    87654321
    Octet 3ext. 1Coding standardInterpretationPresentation method of protocol profile
    Octet 4ext. 0/1High layer characteristics identification

    The octet numbering in the above table is that used in the cited standard for the octets encoded here. Octets 4a and 4b of the standard are not supported by this class, because Signalware SS7 supports only octets 3 and 4. Consequently, bit 8 of octet 4 is always 1, as the situations in which it would be 0 never arise.

        Constructs a new HighLayerCompatibility object from data deserialized from a stream that was written by toStream(DataOutput).
        Parameters:
        in - the stream to read from
        Throws:
        EOFException - if reading is pre-empted by end-of-file

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

        public boolean hasCharacteristics()
                                   throws DecodeException
        Tests whether the field Characteristics has a value.

        whether the field has a value
        Throws:
        DecodeException - if encoded state cannot be decoded
      • copyOf

        public static HighLayerCompatibility copyOf​(HighLayerCompatibility 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:

        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.
