Hi,

I`m new in snmp4j-1.8.2 and I have some questions regarding to receive
response PDU.  I'm use  PDU's getResponse() methods receive respose PDU ,
but I receive "Null" object. I'm use Ethereal capture packet. I found it
have request and request packet. So, I'm very equivocal it. This is my java
code and Ethereal trace log.

##### It's my code.
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

        Address targetAddress = GenericAddress.parse("udp:
192.168.254.254/161");

        //Community Target
        CommunityTarget target = new CommunityTarget();
        target.setCommunity(new OctetString("public"));
        target.setAddress(targetAddress);
        target.setRetries(3);
        target.setTimeout(2000);

        // timeout in 2 seconds before a confirmed request is resent or
timed out.
        target.setVersion(SnmpConstants.version2c);

        // SNMPv1/v2c GETNEXT PDU
        PDU pdu = new PDU();
        pdu.add(new VariableBinding(new OID(".1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1"))); //
sysDescr

        pdu.setType(PDU.GETNEXT);
        // dump request PDU
        System.out.println(pdu.toString());

        Snmp snmp = new Snmp(new DefaultUdpTransportMapping());
        ResponseEvent response = snmp.send(pdu, target);

        // extract the response PDU (could be null if timed out)
        PDU responsePDU = response.getResponse();
        if (responsePDU != null){
            System.out.println("Received response from: "+
response.getPeerAddress());
            // dump response PDU
            VariableBinding[] v = responsePDU.toArray();

            System.out.println("no. of varbind:" + v.length);
            for (int i=0; i<v.length; i++) {
                System.out.println(v[i].getVariable().toString());
                System.out.println(v[i].getVariable().getSyntaxString());
            }
        }else{
            System.out.println("timed out");
        }
    }
