Detailed Description

This is a container class for holding an ASN.1 open type value.

Where the data is internally stored and how it is interpreted is controlled by a "dataEncoding" field. You can specify the data encoding when creating the object. It will also be set when decoding. The following explains the possible data encodings:

  • UNKNOWN: "mValue" is used to hold byte data. It is interpreted as the encoding of the actual value according to some unknown encoding rules (BER, PER, XER, JSON, or some other).
  • BER or PER: "mValue" is used to hold byte data. It is interpreted as the encoding of the actual value according to BER or PER, respectively.
  • XER: "mValue" is used to hold byte data. It is interpreted as the the encoding of the actual value in XML (whether X.693 or Obj-Sys rules), where the XML characters are encoded to bytes using the UTF-8 character encoding.
  • JSON: a private field is used to hold character data. The character data is the encoding of the actual value in JSON.

Note especially that the data encoding indicates the encoding rules used to encode the actual value. That result is typically encoded as part of some larger encoding. The data encoding does NOT indicate the rules used for that larger encoding. For example, using an xmlhstring representation, XER and JSON will encode an open type that was previously encoded using any arbitrary encoding rules. When decoding such data, the data encoding will be UNKNOWN, not XER nor JSON.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Asn1OpenType (  ) 

This constructor creates an empty type that can be used in a Decode method call to receive an encoded value. The data encoding is UNKNOWN.

Asn1OpenType ( byte[]  data  ) 

This constructor initializes an open type from the given byte array. The array is assumed to contain a previously encoded message component. The data encoding is UNKNOWN.

Parameters:
data Byte array containing a previously encoded message component.
Asn1OpenType ( byte[]  data,
int  encoding 
)

This constructor initializes an open type from the given byte array. The array is assumed to contain a previously encoded message component.

Parameters:
data Byte array containing a previously encoded value.
encoding The encoding that describes the meaning of data. Any of the encodings other than JSON.
Asn1OpenType ( byte[]  data,
int  offset,
int  nbytes 
)

This constructor initializes the open type from a portion of the given byte array. A new byte array is created starting at the given offset and consisting of the given number of bytes. The encoding is UNKNOWN.

Parameters:
data Byte array containing a previously encoded value.
offset The offset in array at which to begin copy.
nbytes Number of bytes to copy from target array
Asn1OpenType ( byte[]  data,
int  offset,
int  nbytes,
int  encoding 
)

This constructor initializes the open type from a portion of the given byte array. A new byte array is created starting at the given offset and consisting of the given number of bytes. /p>

Parameters:
data Byte array containing a previously encoded value.
encoding Starting offset in data from which to copy bytes
nbytes Number of bytes to copy from target array
offset The encoding that describes the meaning of data. Any of the encodings other than JSON.
Asn1OpenType ( Asn1EncodeBuffer  buffer  ) 

This constructor initializes an open type using an encoded component. This can be used if a header (for example, a ROSE header) is being prepended to a pre-encoded component. The data encoding is derived from the type of Asn1EncodeBuffer given, and is possibly UNKNOWN.

Parameters:
buffer Reference to encode buffer into which component type was encoded.
Asn1OpenType ( string  data,
int  encoding 
)

Convenience constructor. Same as Asn1OpenType(data.ToCharArray(), encoding)

Asn1OpenType ( char[]  data,
int  encoding 
)

Create Asn1OpenType on the given character data. /p>

Parameters:
data The character data array.
encoding The encoding. Either XER or JSON. If JSON, data is taken to be the JSON encoding of the actual value. The array is not copied, so beware using it after passing it here. The "mValue" field will be assigned null. If XER, data is taken to be the XER encoding of the actual value. The "mValue" field will be assigned the UTF-8 character encoding of the given characters.

Member Function Documentation

override void Decode ( Asn1JsonDecodeBuffer  buffer  )  [virtual]

Decode ASN.1 open type value from JSON. If the JSON value was a JSONNestedValue, the data encoding will be JSON, and the data will be character data. If the JSON value was a JSON string (a quoted xmlhstring), the data encoding will be UNKNOWN and the data will be byte data.

For decoding an unknown extension element, use decodeExtension.

Reimplemented from Asn1OctetString.

Reimplemented from Asn1OctetString.

Reimplemented in Asn1ChoiceExt.

void DecodeExtension ( Asn1JsonDecodeBuffer  buffer,
String  name 
)

Decode an extension from JSON. There should be, possibly after some leading whitespace, a JSON value on the input. After decoding, this object's data encoding will be JSON and the character data will be the a JSONNamedValue, formed from the given (previously decoded) name and the decoded value.

override void Encode ( Asn1PerOutputStream  outs  )  [virtual]

This method encodes an ASN.1 open type value using the Packed Encoding Rules (PER). The data should be the value pre-encoded in PER.

Also throws any exception thrown by the underlying Asn1PerOutputStream.

override void Encode ( Asn1BerOutputStream  outs,
bool  explicitTagging 
) [virtual]

This method encodes and writes to the stream an ASN.1 open type value including the UNIVERSAL tag value and length if explicit tagging is specified. This overloaded version uses the Basic Encoding Rules (BER). The data should be the value pre-encoded in BER.

Throws, Exception thrown by C# System.IO.Stream for I/O error

Parameters:
outs BER Output Stream object
explicitTagging Flag indicating explicit tagging should be done
Exceptions:
Asn1Exception Thrown, if operation is failed.

Reimplemented from Asn1OctetString.

Reimplemented in Asn1ChoiceExt.

override void Encode ( Asn1JsonOutputStream  outstream  )  [virtual]

Encode this octet string to JSON.

Parameters:
outstream 

Reimplemented from Asn1OctetString.

override void Encode ( Asn1XerEncoder  buffer  )  [virtual]

This method encodes an ASN.1 open type value using the XML Encoding Rules (XER).

If the data encoding is XER, the data is written as-is. Otherwise, the data's hexadecimal representation is encoded (i.e. xmlhstring).

Parameters:
buffer Encode message buffer object

Reimplemented from Asn1Type.

override void Encode ( Asn1XerEncoder  buffer,
String  elemName 
)

This method encodes an ASN.1 open type value using the XML Encoding as specified in the XML schema standard(asn2xsd).

If the data encoding is XER, the data is written as-is. Otherwise, the data's hexadecimal representation is encoded (i.e. xmlhstring).

Parameters:
buffer Encode message buffer object
elemName Ignored
override void Encode ( Asn1XmlEncoder  buffer  )  [virtual]

This method encodes an ASN.1 open type value using the XML Encoding as specified in the XML schema standard(asn2xsd).

Parameters:
buffer Encode message buffer object

Reimplemented from Asn1Type.

override void Encode ( Asn1XmlEncoder  buffer,
String  elemName,
String  nsPrefix 
)

This method encodes an ASN.1 open type value using the XML Encoding as specified in the XML schema standard(asn2xsd). If the data encoding is XER, the data is written as-is. Otherwise, the data's hexadecimal representation is encoded (i.e. xmlhstring).

Parameters:

Reimplemented from Asn1OctetString.

Reimplemented in Asn1ChoiceExt.

override int Encode ( Asn1BerEncodeBuffer  buffer,
bool  explicitTagging 
) [virtual]

This method encodes an ASN.1 open type value. The value is assumed to be an already-encoded BER message component and will be copied to the encoded buffer. An optimization is available in which no copy will performed if the encoded component is already present in the encode buffer. This is done if the form of constructor specifiying only a component length is used.

Parameters:
buffer Encode message buffer object
explicitTagging Flag indicating element is explicitly tagged
Returns:
Length of encoded component

Reimplemented from Asn1OctetString.

Reimplemented in Asn1ChoiceExt.

This method encodes an extension element to JSON. If the data encoding is other than JSON, it cannot be encoded and the data is dropped.

void EncodeAsExtension ( Asn1XerEncoder  buffer  ) 

This method encodes an extension element to XML. If the data encoding is other than XER, its hexadecimal representation is encoded inside an XML comment.

Parameters:
buffer 
void EncodeAsExtension ( Asn1XmlEncoder  buffer  ) 

This method encodes an extension element to XML. If the data encoding is other than XER, the hexadecimal representation of the data is encoded inside an XML comment.

Parameters:
buffer Encode message buffer object
char [] GetCharData (  ) 

Returns the character data for the open type. Currently, this is only supported when getDataEncoding() returns JSON.

Returns:
The char data. The actual internal array is returned; a copy is not made.

Parameters:
captureOuterElem Pass true if the outer element start and end tags (if present) should be captured. The outer element is the element for which startElement is called when the level is the start level. Note that this parameter is ignored if you have previously invoked one of the getSaxHandler methods on this object.
Returns:
Asn1XerOpenType.SaxHandler object
virtual Asn1XerSaxHandler GetSaxHandler (  )  [virtual]

This method returns the Asn1XerOpenType.SaxHandler class instance used for ASN.1 XER encoding. If this is the first invocation of any of the GetSaxHandler methods on this object, the returned handler will capture the outer element start/end tags. Otherwise, this will simply return the same SAX handler as previously returned.

Returns:
Asn1XerOpenType.SaxHandler object

int  encoding 
)

Sets the binary data for the open type and assigns the data encoding to the given encoding.

void SetCharData ( String  data,
int  encoding 
)

Convenience method; same as

SetCharData(mValue.toCharArray(), encoding)
override System.String ToString (  ) 

This method will return a string representation of the open type value. If the data encoding is XER or JSON, the string will consist of the corresponding characters (in the case of XER, the byte data is converted to characters using UTF-8). In all other cases, the hexadecimal representation of the byte data is returned.

Returns:
Stringified representation of the value
