Class SnmpNull

java.lang.Object
  org.opennms.protocols.snmp.SnmpNull

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, SnmpSyntax

public class SnmpNull
extends Object
implements SnmpSyntax, Cloneable, Serializable

Implements the SNMP Null object as defined by the SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 SMI. The object has no data or length, but is encoded with a specific header. Often used as the value portion of an SnmpVarBind when sending a GET, GETNEXT, etc to a remote agent. This class manages no internal data, but is derived to provide the proper encoding and handling of SNMP Null datatypes.

Field Summary

static byte

ASNTYPE Defines the ASN.1 value for the SnmpNull class.

Constructor Summary

SnmpNull()
Constructs a default SnmpNull class

SnmpNull(SnmpNull second)

Method Summary

Object	clone() Used to get a duplicate of the current object so that it can be modified without affecting the creating object.
int	decodeASN(byte[] buf, int offset, AsnEncoder encoder) Used to decode the null value from the ASN.1 buffer.
SnmpSyntax	duplicate() Used to get a duplicate of the current object so that it can be modified without affecting the creating object.
int	encodeASN(byte[] buf, int offset, AsnEncoder encoder) Used to encode the null value into an ASN.1 buffer.
String	toString() Returns a string representation of the SNMP Null object
byte	typeId() Used to retreive the ASN.1 type for this object.

Field Detail

ASNTYPE

public static final byte ASNTYPE

Defines the ASN.1 value for the SnmpNull class.

Constant Field Values

Constructor Detail

SnmpNull

public SnmpNull()

Constructs a default SnmpNull class

SnmpNull

public SnmpNull(SnmpNull second)

Copy constructor. Provided so that if the class is extended or should at some point manage internal data, the data could be meaningfully copied from the passed object.

Parameters:

second - The class object to set data from.

Method Detail

typeId

public byte typeId()

Used to retreive the ASN.1 type for this object.

Specified by:

typeId in interface SnmpSyntax

Returns:

The ASN.1 value for the SnmpNull

encodeASN

public int encodeASN(byte[] buf,
                     int offset,
                     AsnEncoder encoder)
              throws AsnEncodingException

Used to encode the null value into an ASN.1 buffer. The passed encoder defines the method for encoding the data.

Specified by:

encodeASN in interface SnmpSyntax

Parameters:

buf - The location to write the encoded data

offset - The start of the encoded buffer.

encoder - The ASN.1 encoder object

Returns:

The byte immediantly after the last encoded byte.

Throws:

AsnEncodingException - Thrown if an encoding error occurs

decodeASN

public int decodeASN(byte[] buf,
                     int offset,
                     AsnEncoder encoder)
              throws AsnDecodingException

Used to decode the null value from the ASN.1 buffer. The passed encoder is used to decode the ASN.1 information.

Specified by:

decodeASN in interface SnmpSyntax

Parameters:

buf - The encoded ASN.1 data

offset - The offset of the first byte of data

encoder - The ASN.1 decoder object.

Returns:

The byte immediantly after the last decoded byte of information.

Throws:

AsnDecodingException - Thrown if an encoding error occurs

duplicate

public SnmpSyntax duplicate()

Used to get a duplicate of the current object so that it can be modified without affecting the creating object.

Specified by:

duplicate in interface SnmpSyntax

Returns:

A duplicate of the current object.

clone

public Object clone()

Used to get a duplicate of the current object so that it can be modified without affecting the creating object.

Overrides:

clone in class Object

Returns:

A duplicate of the current object.

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of the SNMP Null object

Overrides:

toString in class Object
