[SNMP4J] integrating SNMP4J with code from AgentPro

[Brian Kirwan]

Hi Frank,

Thanks very much for your response.

OK - I have successfully generated basic code for my custom MIB using
AgentPro (very straightforward to do) and registered it with my test agent
and can access objects in this new custom MIB from my manager.  Great!

Obviously, my next step is to integrate my custom MIB variables with the
actual backend resources they represent and to be able to generate traps
from my agent also.  Is there any example of this anywhere I can refer to?
I see there is, for example, a setValue() method on the MOScalar class - am
I expected to create a new thread of my own that will invoke this method
locally (based on changes detected in the backend)  to update the value of
the SNMP variable?  If so, are there issues with synchronizing access to the
MOs?  Or is there some other mechanism to synchronize the MIB with the
backend?

Thanks for your help,
Brian.

reasonable idea what it does.  But I can't see any description of where the
code generated by AgentPro is integrated with the SNMP4J agent (I have gone
through the mail archives etc.).  Should I expect that AgentPro generates
classes for my proprietary MIB that implement the MOGroup interface so I can
call the registerMOs() method like is done with snmpv2MIB, vacmMIB etc in an
overridden version of the init() method of BaseAgent?  Is there somewhere
this procedure is described?
