[SNMP4J] Howto build a snmp-daemon?

[laura.reising at arcor.de]

Hello all,

first of all: I'm new to snmp, so please bear with me!

I came to snmp because I would like to monitor some performance-issues
of my JBoss while I'm doing some OpenSTA-tests (http://www.opensta.org).
OpenSTA offers the possibility to fire snmp-queries while it is running
it's tests.

My idea is to write a snmp-daemon (and deploy it under my JBoss) that
takes this requests, checks (for example) the JBoss-memory und delivers
this value back to OpenSTA (via a snmp-response).

So I got SNMP4J-Agent. I took a look at the TestAgent, hoping to adapt
this class for my needs with some hand grips. But far wrong!

I hoped to find a Servlet-similar interface with some kind of
"doGet(SnmpRequest request, SnmpResponse response)"-Method, where I can
do my work put my response-value back into some kind of response-object.

This is confusing! I don't have any cue where to start! Do I need all
this stuff in TestAgent for my simple problem?

I the a "snmp4j for dummies"-Tutorial?

Thanks a lot in advance for any answer, tip, hint and/or link!

Best wishes
Laura
