Package com.voytechs.jnetstream.primitive Description

JNetStream primitive (datatypes) objects. These objects are used by the codec and npl package to initialize datatypes in NPL and access contents of Packet/Header/Field codec objects. As an example the following primitives are very common and have been defined here:

        
 LongPrimitive
        
        
        
 IntPrimitive
        
        
        
 ShortPrimitive
        
        
        
 BytePrimitive
        
        
        
 AddressPrimitive
        
        
        
 IpAddressPrimitive - supports both V4 and V6 addresses
        
        
        
 MacAddressPrimitive
        
        
        
 DNSAddressPrimitive - resolves compressed DNS addresses by following pointers.
        
        
        
 StringAddressPrimitive
        
        
        
 HexdumpPrimitive - a hexadecimal dump of any number of bytes with their ASCII encoding shown on the side.
        
        
        
 TextPrimitive - Similar to HexdumpPrimitive a hexadecimal dump of any number of bytes with their ASCII encoding shown on the side.

Various accessor and getter methods are available to get at the data continained within the Primitive. Also various comparison and comparable interfaces are implemented to allow data manipulation and comparisons.

Packet packet = decoder.nextPacket();
Primitive primitive = packet.getHeader("IPv4").getField("src");
IpAddress address = null;
if(primitive != null)
        address = (IpAddress)primitive.getValue();

IpNetwork network = new IpNetwork("132.145.167.0", 24);

if(network.isPartOf(address) == true) // Could also do: equals(), compareTo(), put in a sorted map or tree, etc...
        System.out.println(address.toString() + " is part of " + network.toString());
else
        System.out.println(address.toString() + " is NOT part of " + network.toString());
