BEROctetString

public BEROctetString(InputStream stream,
                      int[] bytes_read)
            throws IOException
Constructs an octet string element from an input stream (for primitive encoding)
Parameters:
stream - source
bytes_read - array of 1 int, incremented by number of bytes read

BEROctetString

public BEROctetString(String buffer)
Constructs an octet string element containing a copy of the contents of buffer.
Parameters:
buffer - a UCS-2 String

BEROctetString

public BEROctetString(byte[] buffer)
Constructs an octet string element containing a reference to buffer.
Parameters:
buffer - a byte array, which must be in UTF-8 format if it is string data

BEROctetString

public BEROctetString(byte[] buffer,
                      int start,
                      int end)
Constructs an octet string element containing a subset of buffer.
Parameters:
buffer - buffer containing 'octets'
start - start of buffer range to copy
end - end of buffer range to copy

BEROctetString

public BEROctetString(BERTagDecoder decoder,
                      InputStream stream,
                      int[] bytes_read)
            throws IOException
Constructs an octet string element from an input stream (for constructed encoding)
Parameters:
decoder - a decode that understands the specific tags
stream - source
