AW: [SNMP4J] SNMP4J on an application server like tomcat or jboss

[Georg Ungerböck]

Hello Frank,

thanks for your anwser.

I just got it working on a JBOSS app server. It works exactly as you
described: I use a single SNMP instance and transportmapping in a
TimerService-Bean. The SNMP instance is created when the timer event occurs,
various SNMP requests / responses are sent and received, the SNMP instance
is destroyed just before the TimerService ends.

But I have another question, when using one SNMP instance for multiple sends
/ receives:
Now I use snmp.start() and snmp.stop() for every request / response which is
sent (this consumes a lot of resources). Is it possible to use the listener
thread for multiple messages to different target devices?

Best regards,
Georg

Hello Georg,

The next release of SNMP4J (1.9 RC3/final) will support
custom thread factories compatible with the J2EE
WorkerManager.

Although the current release creates its own thread
it works very well in a J2EE environment as long as
a single Snmp instance and a defined number of transport
mappings are used. Then the created threads are constant
and do not interfere with the agents resource management.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Frank
