[SNMP4J] SNMP4J receiving traps in J2EE application server

[Frank Fock]

Hi Steve,

Most application servers support something that is called
"StartUpBean" (WebSphere). These kind of beans are
called when an application is started. This is the right
location to initialize your SNMP4J trap receiver.

EJB 2.1 defines a timer service which could provide
a more portable way than using StartUpBeans.

Which one to choose primarily depends on your
requirements and your environment (AppServer).

Hope this helps anyway.

Best regards,
Frank
