ASCIIChannel not display the correct total length

[Venese Lee]

Hi all,

I'm integrating my program to UPI (Union Pay International) simulator & seems like the simulator is expecting the total length in ASCII.

I used ASCIIChannel but it seems like the total length for the message only include the length for the ISOMSG & not included header length.

Anyone encountered this issue?

Is there anyway I can modify the total length for the message?

Thanks.

You will need to write your own Channel to talk to UnionPay, you cannot use the AsciiChannel as there are specific headers that need to be dealt with.

Take a look at how headers can be parsed

https://github.com/jpos/jPOS/blob/master/jpos/src/main/java/org/jpos/iso/header/BASE1Header.java

Implement your UnionPayHeader accordingly.

See how the channel uses the BASE1Header 

https://github.com/jpos/jPOS/blob/master/jpos/src/main/java/org/jpos/iso/channel/VAPChannel.java

Implement the your channel accordingly.

And you can copy the AsciiChannel's  get and set MessageLength in your channel implementation

Hi chhil,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes I had my own procedure to populate UPI Header but it working fine.

In debugging log, my body len =65, header len = 46 so total 111.

But when sending the ISORequest r thru muxUPI, I expect it will populate correct length = 30313131 (ASCII) but it is sent as 30303635 (the length of the body 65).

So I suspect something wrong for muxUPI.

I tried to implement my own ASCIIChannel & change protected getMessageLength() to public getMessageLength_UPI() but I got nullpointerexception at serverIn.readFully(b, 0, lengthDigits);

Appreciate your advise on what can I do further.

Thanks.

public int getMessageLength_UPI() throws IOException, ISOException {

int l = 0;

byte[] b = new byte[lengthDigits];

while (l == 0) {

serverIn.readFully(b, 0, lengthDigits);

try {

if ((l=Integer.parseInt(new String(b))) == 0) {

serverOut.write(b);

serverOut.flush();

}

} catch (NumberFormatException e) {

throw new ISOException ("Invalid message length "+new String(b));

}

}

return l;

}

ISOMsg m = new ISOMsg();

m.set (new ISOField (0,  "0820"));
m.set (new ISOField (7,  F7));
m.set (new ISOField (11, ISOUtil.zeropad(new Integer(ISOUPIServer.seq.get ("traceno") % 1000000).toString(),6)));
m.set (new ISOField (33, "26520458"));
m.set (new ISOField (70,  "071")); // LogOn
                   
m.setHeader(UPIHeader(bBody.length));
ISORequest r = new ISORequest (m);
ISOUPISocket.muxUPI.queue(r);

This is what I had done when we had implemented it to talk to the UPI Sim.

      public class UnionPayChannel extends BaseChannel

    @Override
    protected void sendMessageHeader(ISOMsg m, int len) throws IOException {

        ISOHeader h = new UnionPayHeader(srcid, dstid, len);

       if (h instanceof UnionPayHeader)

            ((UnionPayHeader) h)

                    .setTotalMessageLength(UnionPayHeader.LENGTH + len); // <-- You are probably not doing this i.e. header length  46 + length of message

        serverOut.write(h.pack());

    }

and the UPIHeader

    public void setTotalMessageLength(int totalMessageLength) {
        byte[] temp = ISOUtil.zeropad(totalMessageLength, 4).getBytes();
        System.arraycopy(temp, 0, header, 2, 4); // <-- The header loacation where the message length is placed.

    }

The message length is embedded in the header.

 *         Fld  1: Header Length           1B      (Byte       0)

 *         Fld  2: Header Flag             1B      (Byte       1)

 *         Fld  3: Total Message Length    4B      (Byte   2 - 5)

So when you pack and unpack the message you need to get the length from the right place and know where the message starts from (after the 46 bytes).

Wow  sendMessageHeader works for me, thanks for your sharings.

Now I able to send ISOMSG to UPI simulator but the reply I have problem to pack to ISOMSG.

As you mentioned I had to read the msg after 46 bytes, how can I do that because the xml file in the GenericPackager doesn't not have header details rite?

Thanks.

[chhil]

When the header gets unpacked, it will consume 46 bytes. The offset returned is at the start of the message. Basically, you need to return 46 from the header unpack.

You will need to define your own packager for UPI, generic most likely wont work.

I am not sure, but the message length may also be present after the header, you will need to debug it.

It may be easier if you dump the message using ISOUtil.hexdump and analyse the message bytes for length etc.

If the SIM can send a network message, you can have it send a request, which you can dump.

Thanks for your info.

I managed to solve the header issue.

Now I have problem packing field 57 in 0110 message from Union Pay.

error unpacking field 57

Do you have xml file to share?

Thanks.

[chhil]

Due to proprietary nature the packager xml cannot be shared.

Basically you need to align your packager go through all the fields prior to 57 and see if they are defined correctly according to spec and the data in the fields match what was sent and expected.
