Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] DTAP dissector not getting called from my dissector

Date: Thu, 24 May 2007 11:48:33 +0530
Hi ,
 
I've developed a dissector for understanding the wireshark , using an imaginary "test" protocol.
But I'm facing a problem with it .
When I try to call another dissector ( I'm calling "gsm_a_dtap") , I'm not getting any display for the wireshark gui .
The bytes related to dtap are not at all getting decoded and displayed , but the remaining portion are all displayed well .
 
Below is the code snippet I'm using :
 
1) void
proto_reg_handoff_test(void)
{
        static gboolean test_initialised = FALSE;
        static dissector_handle_t test_handle;
 
        if( !test_initialised) {
                 test_handle = create_dissector_handle(dissect_test,proto_test);
                 test_initialised = TRUE;
                }
        else {
                dissector_delete("sccp.ssn", SUA_SSN_TEST, test_handle);
                }
 
         dissector_add("sccp.ssn", SUA_SSN_TEST, test_handle);
         dtap_handle = find_dissector("gsm_a_dtap");
        }
 
2)call_dissector(dtap_handle, parameter_tvb, pinfo, test_new_tree);
 
Can anyone suggest whether I need to include something else too , to make the DTAP bytes get displayed properly by calling DTAP dissector from my TEST dissector .
 
Regards ,
Vikash
