Class AccessPointName

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    DataObject, FastSerializable, Serializable

    public class AccessPointName
    extends AbstractLazyEncodedByteArray
    implements FastSerializable
    Class AccessPointName represents a reference to a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) or Public Data Network (PDN) Gateway (PGW), as used in GPRS subscription data. See also AccessPointName.

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

     AccessPointName ::= SEQUENCE {
         networkId  CharString
     }

    The networkId is of the form label.label.label..., with at least one label and a maximum length of 62 characters. All labels are alphanumeric, with hyphens permitted in-between alphanumerics, except for the case of the wildcard access point name, which is just an asterisk.

    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 3GPP TS 23.003 V10.0.0 (2010-12) §9 pp30-32
    87654321
    Octet 0Length (n) of 1st label
    Octet 1Characters of 1st label
    ..
    Octet n
    ...Further labels

    Each label is encoded as its length followed by its characters, excluding any dot. The length of the data encoding depends on the length of the character string.

                            throws DecodeException
        Gets the value of the network identifier using the given codec. If the field NetworkId is not set, returns null. If the given codec is null, then uses the standard codec for this field.
        Parameters:
        codec - StringCodec to use for decoding
        Returns:
        String representation of the network identifier
        Throws:
        DecodeException - if encoded state cannot be decoded
      • getNetworkIdEncoded

        public byte[] getNetworkIdEncoded()
        Gets a clone of the encoded value of the network identifier.
        Returns:
        byte[] representation of the network identifier
      • setNetworkIdEncoded

        public AccessPointName setNetworkIdEncoded​(byte[] encoded)
        Sets the encoded value of the network identifier to a clone of the given byte array.
        Parameters:
