netscape.ldap.ber.stream
Class BERBitString

java.lang.Object
  netscape.ldap.ber.stream.BERElement
      netscape.ldap.ber.stream.BERBitString

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class BERBitString

extends BERElement

This class is for the BitString object. Note that the BitSet class has a bug: size() returns the size of the internal allocated memory rather than the number of bits. Current work-around is to maintain the number of bits ourselves in m_value_num_bits. Change is required when BitSet is fixed.

 ENCODING RULE:
   Primitive Definite length.
   tag = 0x03

Constructor Detail

BERBitString

public BERBitString(BitSet value)

Constructs a boolean element.

Parameters:

value - boolean value

BERBitString

public BERBitString(BERTagDecoder decoder,

getValue

public BitSet getValue()

Gets the bitstring value.

Returns:

element type

getSize

public int getSize()

Gets the number of bits.

Returns:

bit numbers.

getType

public int getType()

Gets the element type.

Specified by:

getType in class BERElement

Returns:

element type

toString

public String toString()

Gets the string representation.

Specified by:

toString in class BERElement
