Class GenericDigits

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    DataObject, FastSerializable, Serializable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    GenericDigitsWithStarHash

    public class GenericDigits
    extends AbstractLazyEncodedByteArray
    implements FastSerializable
    Class GenericDigits contains an address string and indicators of how that string is encoded and what that string represents. It represents some uses of the ASN.1 OCTET STRING type Core-INAP-CS1-DataTypes.Digits (others being represented by GenericNumber).

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

     GenericDigits ::= SEQUENCE {
         encodingScheme EncodingScheme,
         typeOfDigits   TypeOfDigits,
         address        DigitOrCharString
     }
    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) §3.24 p33
    87654321
    Octet 1Encoding schemeType of digits
    Octet 2..Digits

    The length of the data encoding depends on the encoding scheme and the length of the address. The octet numbering in the above table is that used in the cited standard. Q.763 names but doesn't explain the different encoding schemes, so this class offers our best guess of what's intended, as follows.

    Under encoding scheme BCD_ODD, the address should be a digit string with an odd number of digits, and the digits are encoded into semi-octets.
    Under encoding scheme BCD_EVEN, the address should be a digit string with an even number of digits, and the digits are encoded into semi-octets.
    Under encoding scheme IA5, the address should be a character string, and the characters are encoded into octets.
    Under encoding scheme BINARY, the address should be a character string containing only digits, and the digits are encoded into octets (subtracting digit '0' from each character).

    The encoding to semi-octets by encoding schemes BCD_ODD and BCD_EVEN, unless overridden by a particular StringCodec, is as tabulated below.

    Decoded character0123456789
    Encoded hexadecimal0123456789ABCDEF

    In INAP, type of digits is determinable from the context, and so it's redundant. However the ISUP format doesn't allow the exclusion of this subfield, therefore the value is network operator specific.

                          throws DecodeException
        Gets the value of the address using the given codec. If the field Address is not set, returns null. If the given codec is null, then uses the standard codec for this field. The standard codec is determined by the values of other fields, so beware that changes to those other fields can affect the decoding done by this getter.

        Returns:
        String representation of the address
        Throws:

        Sets the value of the address using the given codec. If the given codec is null, uses the standard codec. The standard codec is determined by the values of other fields, so ensure that those other fields are set before calling this setter.

        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

                                             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:
