## javacardx.framework.tlv
Class BERTLV

    java.lang.Object
      javacardx.framework.tlv.BERTLV

Direct Known Subclasses:
  ConstructedBERTLV, PrimitiveBERTLV

    @TransactionType(value=SUPPORTS)
    public abstract class BERTLV

extends Object

The abstract `BERTLV` class encapsulates a BER TLV structure. The rules on the allowed encoding of the Tag, length and value fields are based on the ASN.1 BER encoding rules ISO/IEC 8825-1:2002.

The `BERTLV` class and the subclasses - `ConstructedBERTLV` and `PrimitiveBERTLV` only support encoding of the length(L) octets in definite form. These classes do not provide support for the encoding rules of the contents octets of the value(V) field as described in ISO/IEC 8825-1:2002.

The `BERTLV` class and the subclasses - `ConstructedBERTLV` and `PrimitiveBERTLV` also provide static methods to parse/edit a TLV structure representation in a byte array.

Since:
  2.2.2

Constructor Detail

### BERTLV

    protected BERTLV()

  Constructor creates an empty `BERTLV` object capable of encapsulating a BER TLV structure.

Method Detail

### init

    public abstract short init(byte[] bArray,
                               short bOff,
                               short bLen)
                        throws TLVException

  Abstract init method. (Re-)Initializes `this` `BERTLV` using the input byte data.

  If `this` is an empty TLV object the initial capacity of `this` `BERTLV` is set based on the size of the input TLV data structure.

  Note:

  - If `bOff+bLen` is greater than `bArray.length`, the length of the `bArray` array, an `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown.

  Parameters:
    `bArray` - input byte array
    `bOff` - offset within byte array containing the TLV data
    `bLen` - byte length of input data
  Returns:
    the resulting size of `this` TLV if represented in bytes
  Throws:
    `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if accessing the input array would cause access of data outside array bounds, or if the array offset or array length parameter is negative
    `NullPointerException` - if `bArray` is `null`
    `TLVException` - with the following reason codes:
    - `TLVException.INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE` if the required capacity is not available and the implementation does not support automatic expansion.
    - `TLVException.MALFORMED_TLV` if the input data is not a well-formed BER TLV or the input data represents a primitive BER TLV structure and `this` is a `ConstructedBERTLV` object or the input data represents a constructed BER TLV structure and `this` is a `PrimiitveBERTLV` object.

### getInstance

    public static BERTLV getInstance(byte[] bArray,
                                     short bOff,
                                     short bLen)
                              throws TLVException

  Creates the `BERTLV` using the input binary data. The resulting BER TLV object may be a primitive or a constructed TLV object. The object must be cast to the correct sub-class: `ConstructedBERTLV` or `PrimitiveBERTLV` to access the specialized API. The `init( byte[] bArray, short bOff, short bLen )` methods of the appropriate `BERTLV` classes will be used to initialize the created TLV object.

  Note:

  - If `bOff+bLen` is greater than `bArray.length`, the length of the `bArray` array, an `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` exception is thrown.

  Parameters:
    `bArray` - input byte array
    `bOff` - offset within byte array containing the tlv data
    `bLen` - byte length of input data
  Throws:
    `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if accessing the input array would cause access of data outside array bounds, or if the array offset or array length parameter is negative
    `NullPointerException` - if `bArray` is `null`
    `TLVException` - with the following reason codes:
    - `TLVException.ILLEGAL_SIZE` if the TLV structure requested is larger than the supported maximum size
    - `TLVException.MALFORMED_TLV` if the input data is not a well-formed BER TLV.

### toBytes

    public short toBytes(byte[] outBuf,
                         short bOff)

  Writes `this` TLV structure to the specified byte array.

  Parameters:
    `outBuf` - output byte array
    `bOff` - offset within byte array output data begins
  Returns:
    the byte length written to the output array
  Throws:
    `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if accessing the output array would cause access of data outside array bounds, or if the array offset parameter is negative
    `NullPointerException` - if `outBuf` is `null`
    `TLVException` - with the following reason codes:
    - `TLVException.TLV_SIZE_GREATER_THAN_32767` if the size of the BER TLV is > 32767.
