Class ASN1Reader

java.lang.Object
  com.sun.slamd.asn1.ASN1Reader

public class ASN1Reader

extends java.lang.Object

This class provides a mechanism for reading ASN.1 elements from an input stream. It is not a true java.io.Reader, but it should be good enough for most purposes.

Field Summary

static int

BUFFER_SIZE The size of the buffer that will be used for reading in data.

Constructor Summary

ASN1Reader(java.io.InputStream inputStream)
Creates a new ASN.1 reader to read elements from the specified input stream.

ASN1Reader(java.net.Socket socket)
Creates a new ASN.1 reader to read elements from the input stream of the provided socket.

Method Summary

int	available() Retrieves the number of bytes that can be read without blocking.
void	close() Closes this ASN.1 reader.
ASN1Element	readElement() Reads an ASN.1 element from the provided input stream.
ASN1Element	readElement(int timeout) Reads an ASN.1 element from the provided input stream, waiting a maximum of timeout milliseconds for the response.

Constructor Detail

ASN1Reader

public ASN1Reader(java.io.InputStream inputStream)

Creates a new ASN.1 reader to read elements from the specified input stream.

Parameters:

inputStream - The input stream from which ASN.1 elements are to be read.

ASN1Reader

public ASN1Reader(java.net.Socket socket)
           throws java.io.IOException

Creates a new ASN.1 reader to read elements from the input stream of the provided socket.

Parameters:

socket - The network socket from which the ASN.1 elements are to be read.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If the socket's input stream cannot be obtained.

Method Detail

available

public int available()
              throws java.io.IOException

Retrieves the number of bytes that can be read without blocking.

Returns:

The number of bytes that can be read without blocking.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If a problem occurs while trying to make the determination.

readElement

public ASN1Element readElement()
                        throws ASN1Exception,
                               java.io.IOException

Reads an ASN.1 element from the provided input stream.

Returns:

The ASN.1 element that was read.

Throws:

ASN1Exception - If the data read from the input stream does not contain a valid ASN.1 element.

java.io.IOException - If there is a problem reading the information from the input stream.

readElement

public ASN1Element readElement(int timeout)
                        throws ASN1Exception,
                               java.io.InterruptedIOException,
                               java.io.IOException

Reads an ASN.1 element from the provided input stream, waiting a maximum of timeout milliseconds for the response. If no response has been received during that time, then an InterruptedIOException will be thrown. Note that this is only applicable to ASN.1 readers that were created using the version of the constructor that accepts a socket as the argument. If no socket has been provided, then no timeout will be used.

Parameters:

timeout - The maximum length of time in milliseconds that the read operation will be allowed to block while waiting for information.

Returns:

The ASN.1 element that was read.

Throws:

ASN1Exception - If the data read from the input stream does not contain a valid ASN.1 element.

java.io.InterruptedIOException - If the read was interrupted because the timeout was reached.

java.io.IOException - If there is a problem reading the information from the input stream or setting a timeout on the socket.

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException

Closes this ASN.1 reader.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If a problem occurs while closing the ASN.1 reader.
