Method Detail

getExtensionAvps

DiameterAvp[] getExtensionAvps()

Returns the set of extension AVPs. The returned array contains the extension AVPs in the order they appear in the message. A return value of null implies that no extensions AVPs have been set.

Specified by:

getExtensionAvps in interface GroupedAvp

Returns:

setExtensionAvps

void setExtensionAvps(DiameterAvp[] avps)
                      throws AvpNotAllowedException

Sets the set of extension AVPs with all the values in the given array. The AVPs will be added to message in the order in which they appear in the array. Note: the array must not be altered by the caller following this call, and getExtensionAvps() is not guaranteed to return the same array instance, e.g. an "==" check would fail.

Specified by:

setExtensionAvps in interface GroupedAvp

Throws:

AvpNotAllowedException - if an AVP is encountered of a type already known to this class (i.e. an AVP for which get/set methods already appear in this class)

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if setExtensionAvps has already been called
