public interface BERSerializable

The interface BERSerializable has to be implemented by any data type class that needs to be serialized using the Basic Encoding Rules (BER) that provides enconding rules for ASN.1 data types.

Method Detail

getBERLength

int getBERLength()

Returns the length of this BERSerializable object in bytes when encoded according to the Basic Encoding Rules (BER).

Returns:

the BER encoded length of this variable.

getBERPayloadLength

int getBERPayloadLength()

Returns the length of the payload of this BERSerializable object in bytes when encoded according to the Basic Encoding Rules (BER).

Returns:

the BER encoded length of this variable.

decodeBER

void decodeBER(BERInputStream inputStream)
               throws IOException

Decodes a Variable from an InputStream.

Parameters:

inputStream - an InputStream containing a BER encoded byte stream.

Throws:

IOException - if the stream could not be decoded by using BER rules.

encodeBER

void encodeBER(OutputStream outputStream)
               throws IOException

Encodes a Variable to an OutputStream.

Parameters:

outputStream - an OutputStream.

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs while writing to the stream.
