Class ASN1SequenceOf

java.lang.Object
  com.novell.ldap.asn1.ASN1Object
      com.novell.ldap.asn1.ASN1Structured
          com.novell.ldap.asn1.ASN1SequenceOf

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class ASN1SequenceOf

extends ASN1Structured

The ASN1SequenceOf class is used to hold an ordered collection of components with identical type. This class inherits from the ASN1Structured class which already provides functionality to hold multiple ASN1 components.

Field Summary

static ASN1Identifier	ID ID is added for Optimization.
static int	TAG ASN.1 SEQUENCE OF tag definition.

Constructor Summary

ASN1SequenceOf()
Constructs an ASN1SequenceOf object with no actual ASN1Objects in it.

ASN1SequenceOf(ASN1Decoder dec, java.io.InputStream in, int len)
Constructs an ASN1SequenceOf object by decoding data from an input stream.

ASN1SequenceOf(ASN1Sequence sequence)
A copy constructor which creates an ASN1SequenceOf from an instance of ASN1Sequence.

ASN1SequenceOf(int size)
Constructs an ASN1SequenceOf object with the specified number of placeholders for ASN1Objects.

Field Detail

TAG

public static final int TAG

ASN.1 SEQUENCE OF tag definition.

Constant Field Values

ID

public static final ASN1Identifier ID

ID is added for Optimization.

ID needs only be one Value for every instance, thus we create it only once.

Constructor Detail

ASN1SequenceOf

public ASN1SequenceOf()

Constructs an ASN1SequenceOf object with no actual ASN1Objects in it. Assumes a default size of 5 elements.

ASN1SequenceOf

public ASN1SequenceOf(int size)

Constructs an ASN1SequenceOf object with the specified number of placeholders for ASN1Objects. However there are no actual ASN1Objects in this SequenceOf object.

Parameters:

size - Specifies the initial size of the collection.

ASN1SequenceOf

public ASN1SequenceOf(ASN1Sequence sequence)

A copy constructor which creates an ASN1SequenceOf from an instance of ASN1Sequence. Since SEQUENCE and SEQUENCE_OF have the same identifier, the decoder will always return a SEQUENCE object when it detects that identifier. In order to take advantage of the ASN1SequenceOf type, we need to be able to construct this object when knowingly receiving an ASN1Sequence.

ASN1SequenceOf

public ASN1SequenceOf(ASN1Decoder dec,
                      java.io.InputStream in,
                      int len)
               throws java.io.IOException

Constructs an ASN1SequenceOf object by decoding data from an input stream.

Parameters:

dec - The decoder object to use when decoding the input stream. Sometimes a developer might want to pass in his/her own decoder object

in - A byte stream that contains the encoded ASN.1

Method Detail

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a String representation of this ASN1SequenceOf object

Overrides:

toString in class ASN1Object
