UndefinedAvp (Diameter Resource Adaptor Types)

All Superinterfaces:

Cloneable, DiameterAvp
```
public interface UndefinedAvp
extends DiameterAvp
```
Represents an AVP that was not recognised by the stack. This means the AVP's code was not registered, so the stack does not know the AVP's type and how to decode it. Applications can decode the AVP if they know the correct AVP type, i.e. one of the DiameterAvpType constant field values.

DiameterAvp decode(DiameterAvpType type,
                   String name)
            throws DecodeException
```
    Attempt to decode this undefined AVP to an AVP of a known type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - the desired type for the decoded AVP. This must be one of the constant values in DiameterAvpType.
    
    name - the name of the new AVP. Only used for debugging purposes.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new DiameterAvp object of the given type. The original UndefinedAvp object is unchanged.
    
    Throws:
    
    DecodeException - if unable to decode this AVP's data as the desired type.
  - byteArrayValue
```
byte[] byteArrayValue()
```
    Return the raw contents of this AVP.
    The UndefinedAvp data is available as a byte array. To convert the data to a known type, use decode(DiameterAvpType,String).
    
    Specified by:
    
    byteArrayValue in interface DiameterAvp
    
    Returns:
    
    the AVP value as a byte array
  - getType
```
DiameterAvpType getType()
```
    Return the AVP type (one of the String constants from DiameterAvpType..
    UndefinedAvp objects will always return a type of DiameterAvpType.UNDEFINED.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getType in interface DiameterAvp
    
    Returns:
    
    the AVP type
