Interface Summary

SS7Address

JAIN SS7 Address is to provide consistency across the JAIN addressing schema and to enable a mechanism for new protocol addresses to be added in the furture.

Class Summary

AddressConstants	Constants used by the JAIN SS7 Address classes
GlobalTitle	When instantiated this class represents a Global Title format which informs the user that the GlobalTitle is not included, its Global Title Indicator is of value '0000'.
GTIndicator0001	This class represents a Global Title Indicator-0001, it can be used to store, create and retrieve GlobalTitle-0001 entries.
GTIndicator0010	This class represents a Global Title Indicator-0010, it can be used to store, create and retrieve GlobalTitle-0010 entries.
GTIndicator0011	This class represents a Global Title Indicator-0011, it can be used to store, create and retrieve GlobalTitle-0011 entries.
GTIndicator0100	This class represents a Global Title Indicator-0100, it can be used to store, create and retrieve GlobalTitle-0100 entries.
JainSS7Factory	The JAIN(tm) SS7 Factory is a singleton class by which JAIN SS7 applications can obtain a proprietary (Peer) JAIN SS7 Object.
JainSS7Utility	Utility class for JAIN SS7.
SccpUserAddress	SccpUserAddress represents an address of a Sccp User application.
SignalingPointCode	The Signaling Point Code can be implemented in one of the following 2 ways ITU_14bit - Split 3-8-3 across member/cluster/zone.
SubSystemAddress	SubsystemAddress represents an address of an SS7 User application.

Exception Summary

IdNotAvailableException	This Exception is thrown to indicate that there are no more free Dialogue Ids or InvokeId
SS7Exception	This SS7 Exception is thrown when a general SS7 Error is encountered, and may be used when no other specific SS7 Excepion is relevant.
SS7ListenerAlreadyRegisteredException	Deprecated. As of JAIN TCAP v1.1.
SS7ListenerNotRegisteredException	Deprecated. As of JAIN TCAP v1.1.
SS7PeerUnavailableException	Deprecated. As of JAIN TCAP v1.1.
UserAddressEmptyException	This JAIN UserAddressEmptyException is a run time exception thrown if a listener with a user-address whose point-code does not match that of the stack that owns the provider the listener is registered on (i.e.
UserAddressLimitException	This Exception is thrown when an attempt is made to add an User Address to a JainTcapListener when the Limit of User Addresses managed by that JainTcapListener has been reached.
VersionNotSupportedException	This Exception is thrown to indicate that there is no support for this version of a specification.

Package jain.protocol.ss7 Description

This package contains the JAIN SS7 Factory and the JAIN SS7 Addressing.

• The JAIN SS7 Factory is the central creation point for all high level proprietary JAIN SS7 objects, for example JainTcapStack Objects. The Factory provides an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifiying their concrete classes.

  The Jain Factory may be used by applications to create proprietary SS7 objects, representing the various JAIN Layers of an SS7 protocol stack. From this 'layer of the stack' object it is then possible to instantiate JAIN SS7 Provider objects relevent to that specific layer of the SS7 protocol stack. For example any application may go to the JainFactory to get an Instance of a JainTcapStackImpl Object, that JainTcapStackImpl Object can then be used to create JainTcapProviderImpl Objects, which provide a method of communication for any JainTcapListenerImpl Object with the TCAP layer of that JainTcapStackImpl Object. This architecture for JAIN SS7 Object creation was adopted to:

  • Provide a central point for Object creation, and force the use of JAIN SS7 Objects from the one family.
  • Ensure the code deals only with an interface to an object, therefore can work with any concrete classes that support that interface.
  • Provide more flexible and reusable code, by eliminating the instantiation of application specific classes.
  • Ensure it can be adapted easily to Remote Method Invocation, which is essential for a distributed environment.

• The JAIN SS7 Addressing is a combined design effort between the JAIN SS7 protocol experts groups to avoid redundancy in the JAIN SS7 specifications. There are primarily two types of address in the SS7 world, SCCP Addressing specific to MAP, INAP and TCAP and ISUP Addressing specific to only ISUP. The SCCPUserAddress contains all necessary functionality in order to route TCAP messages, namely SignalingPointCode, Subsystem Number and Globaltitle.
