I am trying to convert the unbound id ldap java sdk source code to

  • 0

I am trying to convert the unbound id ldap java sdk source code to c# using the sharpen converter from versant. However, I am getting an exception related to a java enum class that has several constructors and seems different than a normal .NET enum.

The error message is the following:

ERROR: /sharpened/src/com/unboundid/asn1/ASN1Messages.java:240: Enum can contain
only fields and a private constructor.

The java class looks like the following:

enum ASN1Messages
{
  /**
   * ASN.1 Boolean elements must have a value whose length is exactly one byte.
   */
  ERR_BOOLEAN_INVALID_LENGTH("ASN.1 Boolean elements must have a value whose length is exactly one byte."),



  /**
   * Unable to decode the provided byte array as an ASN.1 BER element:  {0}
   */
  ERR_ELEMENT_DECODE_EXCEPTION("Unable to decode the provided byte array as an ASN.1 BER element:  {0}"),

And the problematic method from this class is:

/**
   * Retrieves a localized version of the message.
   * This method should only be used for messages which do not take any arguments.
   *
   * @return  A localized version of the message.
   */
  public String get()
  {
    String s = MESSAGE_STRINGS.get(this);
    if (s == null)
    {

What is the best way to overcome this problem using the sharpen tool?

    I am wondering if Sharpen supports such an enum implementation. Here is the source code, from what I understand, it seems to throw an exception as soon as a public methods is found in an enum :

    private boolean processEnumType(TypeDeclaration node) {
        if (!isEnum(node)) {
            return false;
        }
        final CSEnum theEnum = new CSEnum(typeName(node));
        mapVisibility(node, theEnum);
        mapJavadoc(node, theEnum);
        addType(theEnum);
    
        node.accept(new ASTVisitor() {
            public boolean visit(VariableDeclarationFragment node) {
                theEnum.addValue(identifier(node.getName()));
                return false;
            }
    
            @Override
            public boolean visit(MethodDeclaration node) {
                if (node.isConstructor() && isPrivate(node)) {
                    return false;
                }
                unsupportedConstruct(node, "Enum can contain only fields and a private constructor.");
                return false;
            }
        });
        return true;
    }
    

    But, this link http://tracker.db4o.com/browse/COR-496 seems to confirm that this works for public getters. That is, if you respect this construction :

    enum ASN1Messages {
        /**
         * ASN.1 Boolean elements must have a value whose length is exactly one byte.
         */
        ERR_BOOLEAN_INVALID_LENGTH("ASN.1 Boolean elements must have a value whose length is exactly one byte."),
    
    
        /**
         * Unable to decode the provided byte array as an ASN.1 BER element:  {0}
         */
        ERR_ELEMENT_DECODE_EXCEPTION("Unable to decode the provided byte array as an ASN.1 BER element:  {0}"),;
    
        private String s;
    
        ASN1Messages(String s) {
            this.s = s;
        }
    
        /**
         * Retrieves a localized version of the message.
         * This method should only be used for messages which do not take any arguments.
         *
         * @return A localized version of the message.
         */
        public String get() {
            return s;
        }
    }
