Constructor Details

BERChoice

public BERChoice(BERElement value)
Constructs a choice element.
Parameters:
value - any BERElement value

BERChoice

public BERChoice(BERTagDecoder decoder,
                 InputStream stream,
                 int[] bytes_read)
            throws IOException
Constructs a choice element from an input stream. Note that with the current decoding architecture choice types will not be decoded as choices but rather as the types chosen. The following method will never be called.
Parameters:
stream - input stream
bytes_read - array of 1 int; value incremented by number of bytes read from stream

Method Details

getType

public int getType()
Gets the element type.
Overrides:
getType in interface BERElement

getValue

public BERElement getValue()
Gets the value of the chosen type.

toString

public String toString()
Gets the string representation.
Overrides:
toString in interface BERElement
Returns:
string representation of tag.

write

public void write(OutputStream stream)
            throws IOException
Sends the BER encoding of the chosen type directly to a stream.
Overrides:
write in interface BERElement
Parameters:
stream - output stream
