[erlang-questions] erlang diameter dictionary

Hi Anders,
Thanks for your reply, Your suggestions are valuable. I am still playing
with some trial code. So need to worry about name space convention for now.
I think I did recompile everything with rebar (clean then compile). But I
didn't continue with the rfc4006 dictionary.
I redefined my CCR/CCA messages and received something back from peer with
success code 2001. However I got decoding error. I debugged the decoding
process. Something makes me confused.
After splitting all AVPS, other AVPs are parsed ok, except two. One is like
this, simple enum data:
< Avps = [ {diameter_avp,1023,10415,true,false,
<<0,0,0,0>>,
undefined,undefined,undefined,7},
I think I defined the dictionary properly. For instance, the generated
dictionary erlang file has the 1023 definition:
avp_name(1023, undefined) ->
{'Bearer-Control-Mode', 'Enumerated'};
avp_header('Bearer-Control-Mode') ->
{1023, 64, undefined};
{avp_types,
[{"Bearer-Control-Mode", 1023, "Enumerated",
"M"},
But when I debug the Mod:decode_avps step by step, I don't see it try to
step into the proper avp_name mapping and throw the error
{5001,
{diameter_avp,1023,10415,true,false,
<<0,0,0,0>>,
undefined,undefined,undefined,7}},
I saw it tried to parse with avp_name(443, undefined) ->
{'Subscription-Id', 'Grouped'};
Do I misunderstand anything in diameter library? What I did wrong to cause
this? How should I better understand the encode/decode process in diameter
library?
Could you please give me some suggestions?
Thanks a lot!
Samuel
