Hi,
Sorry can't help, I build on Windows :-)

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Nested ASN1 dissector was Re: Hello to the list anda nested dissector

Hi,
I was actually using a hand made Makefile as of http://wiki.wireshark.org/ASN1_sample, I was not using the autoconf+automake chain used by the wireshark sources. I have decided to start from scratch and to switch to the common behavior. These are the steps I think I will follow:
1)Copy from the asn1/tcap directory the Makefile*
2)Merge the two asn into one including both
3)Write a simple cnf file
4)Follow the usual compilation chain

Actually I already have problems in correctly using the build chain because the Makefile is not created, I don't see it in the list of the created ones while configure is running.
I hope you will have a few minutes to give me your suggestions

Thanks
Gaetano

PS: I changed the original subject, I think it's better

Hi,
Well in makefile.common in your asn1/foo ( your asn2wrs generated dissector) try:
 
:

ASN_FILE_LIST = yourtcap.asn \

    foo.asn

:

Hi,
well, I think you are right. What I am actually trying to do this morning is to merge the ASN code from the TCAP dissector (your code!) and the one from the protocol I need even I don't know exactly how to do it.
The actual application is a client towards a cluster of serves using this protocol combination. It is built by means of an asn to c++ preprocessor applied to 2 asn files: the TCAP one, very similar to yours, and another one with the higher protocol but they are kept separated. Each outgoing message is assembled building the header then appending a TCAP primitive built around a previously constructed operation of the private protocol.

I am very new to the wireshark development world so I don't know how to move myself well so thank you for the help you are providing.

Gaetano

Hi,
Perhaps you are better off including the relevant TCAP and ROS ASN1 code in your ASN1 based dissector.
How is the actual application built?
Using a asn1 to target code generator? If so it should be possible to use the same ASN1 files?

Anders

Hi,
my TCAP looks somewhat simpler:
Transaction Capabilities Application Part
  begin
    Source Transaction ID
      Transaction Id: 43000004
    Components: 1 item
      Item: invoke (1)
........
Data (276 bytes)


so I have neither oid field nor the ACN.
Do you think there is an alternative?

Thank you for your time 
Gaetano

Hi,
How does the TCAP portion of your packet look?
Example:
Transaction Capabilities Application Part
begin
Source Transaction ID
Transaction Id: 2DB901
oid: 0.0.17.773.1.1.1 (dialogue-as-id)
dialogueRequest
application-context-name: 0.4.0.0.1.0.25.2 (shortMsgMT-RelayContext-v2)
:
In this case the GSM MAP dissector has:

register_ber_oid_dissector_handle("0.4.0.0.1.0.25.2", map_handle, proto_gsm_map,"shortMsgMT-RelayContext-v2" );

Hope this helps.

Regards

Anders

Hi,
I think I don't have such an identifier (x.y.z.a....). I checked the ASN.1 definition and couldn't find any.
Is there any way to create a "local" one just to link the tcap to this protocol? Then, as far as I understand, I should call register_ber_oid_dissector_handle passing the OID  as parameter, right?

Thank you very much and sorry for this stuff that may sound banal
Gaetano

Hi,
Look at GSM MAP how it can be done. You have an OID for your protocol,
right?
Just register that OID with a callback and you'll be handed a tvb with
the data.

Anders

Thank you Anders for your answer.
I have already parsed the asn by means of asn2wrs, I have also developed
the dissection of the header, afterwards I use the call_tcap_dissector
function from the asn1/tcap dissector to have the TCAP layer decoded
and, in the end, I need to decode the TCAP component by means of my ASN1
protocol.
Now what I don't know is how to retrieve the Component content from the
parsed TCAP and pass it to the dissection of the inner protocol.

Thanks again
Gaetano
