Parameters:

from - the source byte array which needs to be copied.

index1 - the starting index of the source array.

toCopy - the int[] to which the contents needs to be copied.

index2 - the starting index of the destination array.

endIndex - the length of the bytes to be copied to the int array.

arraycopy

public static void arraycopy(int[] from,

Parameters:

from - the source byte array which needs to be copied.

index1 - the starting index of the source array.

toCopy - the byte[] to which the contents needs to be copied.

index2 - the starting index of the destination array.

endIndex - the length of the bytes to be copied to the int array.

getNextInstance

public static int[] getNextInstance(java.util.Vector entryVector,
                                    int[] currentInstance)

Returns the next Instance (int[]) from the entryVector.

Parameters:

entryVector - the vector which contains all the instances.

currentInstance - the currentInstanceOID.

Returns:

nextInst the nextInstance if one exists or null.

stringFirstCharToUpper

public static java.lang.String stringFirstCharToUpper(java.lang.String toChange)

Converts the first character of a string to UpperCase character.

Parameters:

toChange - string to convert

Returns:

the converted string.

stringFirstCharToLower

public static java.lang.String stringFirstCharToLower(java.lang.String toChange)

Converts the first character of a string to LowerCase character.

Parameters:

toChange - string to convert

Returns:

the converted string.

compareTo

public static int compareTo(java.lang.String theString,
                            java.lang.String toCompare)

The Method compares two Strings.

Parameters:

theString - The First String to Compare.

toCompare - The String that is to be compared.

Returns:

1, -1 based on the Lengths of the Strings, their lexicographic difference if the two Strings are of Same Lengths. 0 if they are equal.

compareToWithMinSize

public static int compareToWithMinSize(int[] oid1,
                                       int[] oid2)

This Method Compares Two int Arrays by considering the size of the arrays.

Parameters:

oid1 - the first oid int[]

oid2 - the second oid int[]

Returns:

1 if the first array is greater up the smallest length of two

-1 if the Second array is greater up the smallest length of two 0 if they are equal until their least lengths. eg., if intArrays of .1.3.6.1.4.1.5 and .1.3.6.1.4 are compared it will return 0
