Class ASN1Length

java.lang.Object
  com.novell.ldap.asn1.ASN1Length

public class ASN1Length

extends java.lang.Object

This class provides a means to manipulate ASN.1 Length's. It will be used by ASN1Encoder's and ASN1Decoder's by composition.

Constructor Summary

ASN1Length()
Constructs an empty ASN1Length.

ASN1Length(java.io.InputStream in)
Constructs an ASN1Length object by decoding data from an input stream.

ASN1Length(int length)
Constructs an ASN1Length

Method Summary

int	getEncodedLength() Returns the encoded length of this ASN1Length.
int	getLength() Returns the length of this ASN1Length.
void	reset(java.io.InputStream in) Resets an ASN1Length object by decoding data from an input stream.

Constructor Detail

ASN1Length

public ASN1Length()

Constructs an empty ASN1Length. Values are added by calling reset

ASN1Length

public ASN1Length(int length)

Constructs an ASN1Length

ASN1Length

public ASN1Length(java.io.InputStream in)
           throws java.io.IOException

Constructs an ASN1Length object by decoding data from an input stream.

Parameters:

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

Method Detail

reset

public final void reset(java.io.InputStream in)
                 throws java.io.IOException

Resets an ASN1Length object by decoding data from an input stream. Note: this was added for optimization of ASN1.LBERdecoder.decode()

Parameters:

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

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getLength

public final int getLength()

Returns the length of this ASN1Length.

getEncodedLength

public final int getEncodedLength()

Returns the encoded length of this ASN1Length.
