Class BERTag

Direct Known Subclasses: ConstructedBERTag , PrimitiveBERTag


public abstract class BERTagextends Object

The abstract BERTag class encapsulates a BER TLV tag. The rules on the allowed encoding of the Tag field are based on the ASN.1 BER encoding rules of ISO/IEC 8825-1:2002.

The BERTag class and the subclasses ConstructedBERTag and

PrimitiveBERTag, also provide static methods to parse or edit a BER Tag structure representation in a byte array.

Since:

2.2.2

Constructor Detail

BERTag

protected BERTag()

Constructor creates an empty BERTLV Tag object capable of encapsulating a BER TLV Tag. All implementations must support at least 3 byte Tags which can encode tag numbers up to 0x3FFF.

Method Detail

init

public abstract void init(byte[] bArray, short bOff) throws TLVException

Parameters:bArray - the byte array containing the binary representation

bOff - the offset within bArray where the tag binary begins

Throws: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException- if accessing the input array would cause access of data outside array bounds, or if the array offset parameter is negative

NullPointerException- if bArray is null

TLVException- with the following reason codes:

  • TLVException.ILLEGAL_SIZE if the tag number requested is larger than the supported maximum size


  • TLVException.MALFORMED_TAG if tag representation in the byte array is malformed



getInstance

public static BERTaggetInstance(byte[] bArray, short bOff) throws TLVException

Create a BERTLV Tag object from the binary representation in the byte array. All implementations must support tag numbers up to 0x3FFF. Note that the returned BERTag must be cast to the correct subclass: PrimitiveBERTag or ConstructedBERTag to access their specializedAPI.

Parameters:bArray - the byte array containing the binary representation

bOff - the offset within bArray where the tag binary begins

Throws: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException- if accessing the input array would cause access of data outside array bounds, or if the array offset parameter is negative

NullPointerException- if bArray is null

TLVException- with the following reason codes:

  • TLVException.ILLEGAL_SIZE if the tag number requested is larger than the supported maximum size


  • TLVException.MALFORMED_TAG if tag representation in the byte array is malformed.

  • TLVException.EMPTY_TAG if the BER Tag is empty.



toBytes

public short toBytes(byte[] outBuf, short bOffset) throws TLVException

Writes the representation of this BER tag structure to the byte array

Parameters:outBuf - the byteArray where the BER tag is written

bOffset - offset within outBuf where BER tag value starts

Returns:size of BER Tag in bytes

Throws: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException- if accessing the output array would cause access of data outside array bounds, or if the array offset parameter is negative

NullPointerException- if outBuf is null

  • TLVException.EMPTY_TAG if the BER Tag is empty.



tagNumber

public short tagNumber() throws TLVException

Returns the tag number part of this BER Tag structure

Returns:the BER Tag tag number

Throws: TLVException- with the following reason codes:
