[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
