public SNMPOctetString(byte[] enc)

Create an octet string from the supplied byte array. The array may be either user-supplied, or part of a retrieved BER encoding. Note that the BER encoding of the data of an octet string is just the raw bytes.

Method Detail

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue()

Return the array of raw bytes.

Overrides:

getValue in class SNMPObject

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.Object data)
              throws SNMPBadValueException

Used to set the value from a byte array.

Overrides:

setValue in class SNMPObject

Throws:

SNMPBadValueException - Indicates an incorrect object type supplied.

getBEREncoding

public byte[] getBEREncoding()

Returns the BER encoding for the octet string. Note the the "value" part of the BER type,length,value triple is just the sequence of raw bytes.

Overrides:

getBEREncoding in class SNMPObject

extractFromBEREncoding

protected void extractFromBEREncoding(byte[] enc)

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a String constructed from the raw bytes. If the bytes contain non-printable ASCII characters, tant pis! (Though it's fun when the bell rings!)

Overrides:

toString in class SNMPObject

toHexString

public java.lang.String toHexString()

Returns a space-separated hex string corresponding to the raw bytes.
