[SNMP4J] unable to add community name to SampleAgent

[Jeff Ramin]

Hi folks.

I'm using the latest snmp4jagent library (1.2.2), and I have the
SampleAgent running.

I want to add another community name that the agent will accept
from a v2c client. I've stolen some code from the TestAgent.addCommunities()
method and added it to the SampleAgent. These are the changes I've made:

I save the engine context id when creating the AgentConfigManager for
later use:
106c115,116
<     agent = new AgentConfigManager(new OctetString(MPv3.createLocalEngineID()),
---
 >     engineContextID = new OctetString(MPv3.createLocalEngineID());
 >     agent = new AgentConfigManager(engineContextID,

I create and save an SnmpCommunityMIB object in the constructor for
later use:
115c125,133
<   }
---
 >
 >   SnmpTargetMIB targetMIB = new SnmpTargetMIB(messageDispatcher);
 >   communityMIB = new SnmpCommunityMIB(targetMIB);
 >   }

In main(), right after the sampleAgent.run() call, I try to add a
community name by calling the new method:
387a406,407
 >
 >       addCommunity("test");

and here is my addCommunity() method, stolen from TestAgent:
   private static void addCommunity(String community) {

       // add row to SnmpCommunityMIB table
       Variable[] com2sec = new Variable[] {
           new OctetString(community),              // community name
           new OctetString("cpublic"),              // security name
           engineContextID,        // local engine ID
           new OctetString("public"),              // default context name
           new OctetString(),                      // transport tag
           new Integer32(StorageType.nonVolatile), // storage type
           new Integer32(RowStatus.active)         // row status
       };
       MOTableRow row = communityMIB.getSnmpCommunityEntry().createRow(new 
OctetString("public2public").toSubIndex(true), com2sec);
       communityMIB.getSnmpCommunityEntry().addRow(row);
   }




I don't see any errors, but the agent rejects requests that use
the community name "test".

Could somebody explain what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
