<![CDATA[BACnet4J compliance with standard]]>Hi, I've tested my BACnet4J app with BACnet test client (http://www.bac-test.com/download.php).

Many tests pass, but some do not pass. Take these, for example:

15/01/2013 09:45:39: Running Diagnostic: BC 135.1: 13.4.3 - Bad Tag Diagnostic
15/01/2013 09:45:39: Sending a Read Property where the Tag number is 2, not 1 as expected, should receive a 'Reject PDU' as a result
15/01/2013 09:45:39: tpde00532 - Wrong response received, expected RejectPDU but received: Error Class=Property, Error Code=Missing Required Parameter
15/01/2013 09:45:39: *** Diagnostic Fails ***
15/01/2013 09:45:39:

15/01/2013 09:45:39: Running Diagnostic: BC 135.1: 13.4.4-A - Missing Required Parameter
15/01/2013 09:45:39: Reject PDU expected
15/01/2013 09:45:39: *** Diagnostic Fails ***
15/01/2013 09:45:39:

15/01/2013 09:45:39: Running Diagnostic: BC 135.1: 9.13.4.3-A - Invalid Tag for Property
15/01/2013 09:45:39: Incorrect PDU Type in response: ERROR
15/01/2013 09:45:39: *** Diagnostic Fails ***
15/01/2013 09:45:39:

15/01/2013 09:45:39: Running Diagnostic: BC 135.1: 9.13.4.3-B - Invalid (8 bit) Tag for Property
15/01/2013 09:45:39: Incorrect PDU Type in response: ERROR
15/01/2013 09:45:39: *** Diagnostic Fails ***
15/01/2013 09:45:39:

Do you have any suggestion? Thanks.

My application is basically the BACnet4J sample application:


            LocalDevice localDevice = new LocalDevice(1968, "10.1.10.168");
            localDevice.getConfiguration().setProperty(PropertyIdentifier.objectName,
                    new CharacterString("my device"));
            localDevice.setPort(0xBAC0);
// a few properties...

            // Start the local device.
            localDevice.initialize();

            // Send an iam.
            localDevice.sendBroadcast(47808, localDevice.getIAm());

You can dowload the test client from http://www.bac-test.com/download.php and you'll get the same errors as I get.

Also, it appears that these tests are testing what happens when badly-formatted or otherwise non-compliant messages are sent. I've seen enough examples of equipment that don't respond properly to valid messages; i'm not sure we need to be too concerned with invalid message, except to fix the devices that are sending them.
