[SNMP4J] BER and ASN.1

[Frank Fock]

Hi Michael,

SNMP4J already does the conversion from BER
to Java objects. Therefore I suspect you are looking
for a SMI (MIB specifications are written in SMI
not ASN.1) compiler/parser. JASMI available
from my site http://www.mibdesigner.com can
do that. There are other parsers too avaible.

In most cases, a compile time parser (i.e. code
generator like AgenPro) is the best choice and should
be preferred  instead of runtime parsing. The latter
is only suitable for generic applications.

Best regards,
Frank
