[SNMP4J] RE: SNMP4J Digest, Vol 60, Issue 4 (Counter64 and Long)

[fock at agentpp.com]

Hi Mateus,

I have no idea what you are looking for?
Long in Java is 64bit and Counter64 too.
Have you problems whit masking the sign bit?

Also it would be nice to create a new 
posting with using a subject that refers
to the content of the posting.

Thanks,
Frank


Hi Everyone,

	I would like to know if someone knows how to work around the
counter64 -> long limitation ? I found a situation where binding counter64
to Long caused problem.

Many thanks!

Hi Frank,

I took a look at the toString() method of OctetString that is like below.
  public String toString() {
    if (isPrintable()) {
      return new String(value);
    }
    return toHexString();
  }

  public boolean isPrintable() {
    for (int i=0; i<value.length; i++) {
      char c = (char)value[i];
      if ((Character.isISOControl(c) ||
          ((value[i] & 0xFF) >= 0x80)) && (!Character.isWhitespace(c))) {
        return false;
      }
    }
    return true;
  }

So if the value byte array contains Chinese chars, it will not display the
correct Chinese chars and will display the hexadecimal values. You know, in
order to display the Chinese chars correctly, I have to do some encoding
converting just like this.
new String(((OctetString) vb[i].getVariable()).toByteArray(), "gb2312");
After done that, the chinese chars will be correctly displayed. Therefore, I
guess if the value byte array contains Japanese chars, I will also have to
use a Japanese charset to reconstruct the text. Same process will be needed
for other chars such as German, French and so on.

My problem is that I am writing a snmp trap receive client and I can't know
which chars the snmp trap sender(such as cisco router and some kinds of
firewall) will use by advance. So in this case, I have to guess which
charsets the snmp trap sender are using. Do you have any suggestion for this
case? Thanks.
