Sorry to answer so lately, I finally found back my login and password for this site. Tank you Joolz, your comment helped me buld a schedule object. I'll try to paste a very basic example when I'll figure out how to put my code into code tag.

According to the standard, BACnetLogData is a choice of log-status, log-data or time-change. However, looking at com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.constructed.LogData.java:``` public LogData(ByteQueue queue) throws BACnetException { logStatus = read(queue, LogStatus.class, 0); logData = readSequenceOfChoice(queue, classes, 1); timeChange = read(queue, Real.class, 2); } @Override public void write(ByteQueue queue) { write(queue, logStatus, 0); write(queue, logData, 1); write(queue, timeChange, 2); } By changing public LogData(ByteQueue queue) throws BACnetException { logStatus = read(queue, LogStatus.class, 0); logData = readSequenceOfChoice(queue, classes, 1); timeChange = read(queue, Real.class, 2); } public LogData(ByteQueue queue) throws BACnetException { int tag = peekTagNumber(queue); if (tag == 0) { logStatus = read(queue, LogStatus.class, 0); logData = null; timeChange = null; } else if (tag == 1) { logStatus = null; logData = readSequenceOfChoice(queue, classes, 1); timeChange = null; } else if (tag == 2) { logStatus = null; logData = null; timeChange = read(queue, Real.class, 2); } else { throw new BACnetErrorException(ErrorClass.property, ErrorCode.missingRequiredParameter); } }

The BACnet standard states that any attempt to read the LogBuffer property of a Trendlog or Trendlog Multiple object with a ReadProperty-Request or a ReadPropertyMultiple-Request shall cause a a Result(-) response, with an Error class of PROPERTY, and an Error Code of READ_ACCESS_DENIED. Currently BACnet4j does not do this. I've created a couple of patches which I believe fix this: diff --git a/src/com/serotonin/bacnet4j/service/confirmed/ReadPropertyMultipleRequest.java b/src/com/serotonin/bacnet4j/service/confirmed/ReadPropertyMultipleRequest.java --- a/src/com/serotonin/bacnet4j/service/confirmed/ReadPropertyMultipleRequest.java +++ b/src/com/serotonin/bacnet4j/service/confirmed/ReadPropertyMultipleRequest.java @@ -44,6 +44,8 @@ import com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.constructed.ReadAccessResult.Result; import com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.constructed.ReadAccessSpecification; import com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.constructed.SequenceOf; +import com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.enumerated.ErrorClass; +import com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.enumerated.ErrorCode; import com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.enumerated.PropertyIdentifier; import com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.primitive.ObjectIdentifier; import com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.primitive.OctetString; @@ -151,7 +153,10 @@ else { // Get the specified property. try { - results.add(new Result(pid, pin, obj.getPropertyRequired(pid, pin))); + if (pid.equals(PropertyIdentifier.logBuffer)) + results.add(new Result(pid, pin, new BACnetError(ErrorClass.property, ErrorCode.readAccessDenied))); + else + results.add(new Result(pid, pin, obj.getPropertyRequired(pid, pin))); } catch (BACnetServiceException e) { results.add(new Result(pid, pin, new BACnetError(e.getErrorClass(), e.getErrorCode()))); diff --git a/src/com/serotonin/bacnet4j/service/confirmed/ReadPropertyMultipleRequest.java b/src/com/serotonin/bacnet4j/service/confirmed/ReadPropertyMultipleRequest.java --- a/src/com/serotonin/bacnet4j/service/confirmed/ReadPropertyMultipleRequest.java +++ b/src/com/serotonin/bacnet4j/service/confirmed/ReadPropertyMultipleRequest.java @@ -44,6 +44,8 @@ import com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.constructed.ReadAccessResult.Result; import com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.constructed.ReadAccessSpecification; import com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.constructed.SequenceOf; +import com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.enumerated.ErrorClass; +import com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.enumerated.ErrorCode; import com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.enumerated.PropertyIdentifier; import com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.primitive.ObjectIdentifier; import com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.primitive.OctetString; @@ -151,7 +153,10 @@ else { // Get the specified property. try { results.add(new Result(pid, pin, obj.getPropertyRequired(pid, pin))); if (pid.equals(PropertyIdentifier.logBuffer)) results.add(new Result(pid, pin, new BACnetError(ErrorClass.property, ErrorCode.readAccessDenied))); else results.add(new Result(pid, pin, obj.getPropertyRequired(pid, pin))); } catch (BACnetServiceException e) { results.add(new Result(pid, pin, new BACnetError(e.getErrorClass(), e.getErrorCode())));

You misinterpreted what they said. You had said you didn't know what hashes might be good for, and i provided an answer. You were using them inappropriately: as a unique key, rather than an indexing key, which are two different things. Since a hash is not guaranteed to be unique, you obviously should not use it for such a purpose. That said, you need to reconsider what you can use as a unique key, if that is what you need. This is a question for you to decide. I don't know your application, and so can't really help.

I've changed the ByteQueue to a byte[]. This change will be in the next check-in, which will be a major upgrade.

I am a little taken aback hearing that there are people using the same device instance for multiple devices on a network. They should be shot! From what I can see however, with the code as is, even if they were happy to violate (as personally I don't think there is any level of compliance in this department) the standard and have same device instance for multiple devices, it will only ever work with the first device in the list if BACnet4j has to make any sort of request to that device (I could be wrong, but that is my observation). So I'm not really sure how useful the current implementation is to anyone, as it doesn't really handle multiple devices, and it doesn't handle devices that change network details. I agree a flag in the localDevice object would be the simplest way to accomodate all parties, so that particular behaviour could be specified.

In com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.constructed.PropertyStates.java:118 public PropertyStates(int type, BaseType state) { this.state = new Choice(type, state); } I think it should be public PropertyStates(int type, Encodable state) { this.state = new Choice(type, state); } Most of the possible choices for a PropertyStates object are of Enumerated type, which doesn't extend from BaseType. The Choice constructor takes an Encodable as its parameter, so it should work. In my own testing, it appears to work just fine.

When a com.serotonin.bacnet4j.type.constructed.ProptertyStates object is instantiated via the PropertyStates(int type, BaseType state) constructor, the getState() function will work fine as a BaseType object is required. However, when a PropertyStates object is instantiated via the public PropertyStates(ByteQueue queue) constructor, the getState() function can generate ClassCastExceptions if it is not a BaseType. In my case, I had a ClassCastException because this.state was a BinaryPV, which isn't a BaseType. Changing public BaseType getState() { return (BaseType) state.getDatum(); } to this public Encodable getState() { return state.getDatum(); } resolves the problem. Or if getState returned this.state, that should probably work too.

I've written a function which could be used in conjuction with the convertTo(Class<T>) function to get the Object in its correct form for any Primitive class With it, you could then do the following: AmbiguousValue av = (AmbiguousValue)schedule.getProperty(PropertyIdentifier.scheduleDefault); Class<? extends Primitive> c = (Class<? extends Primitive>)av.getPrimitiveClass(); Primitive pr = av.convertTo(c); What is your preferred way for code submissions? A diff file as an attachment or pasted directly into the body in a code block? Or other? Attachment: download link

:D

The BACnet object class is meant to represent local objects, so it may not be exactly what you want. The remote object class is, as you said, more what you are after, but it is only meant to be a proxy of the real object in the remote device. The problem with storing properties in the remote object is that they can easily become stale if the real remote object changes. If you really want to store remote properties locally (some kind of caching that i assume you will refresh as necessary), you'll be best to create your own class.

Awesome :D

No worries and thanks.

Thanks Matt :D
