[SNMP4J] Using SNMP4J in a java program

[Neil Cohen]

Hi,

I am writing a Java program which needs to send SNMP traps to a remote 
server. This is a one-way communication - I'm sending the traps but not 
expecting to receive a response. Right now, I'm using snmp v1.

Can someone point me at some simple example code that will do this? 
Right now, we fork a shell script which runs a command like this:

  /usr/local/bin/snmptrap -v 1 -c public mysourcehost enterprises.1.2.3 
11.22.33.44 6 1 '' enterprises.1.2.3.4.5.6 s "the text of the trap goes 
here...."

I would like to use snmp4j to replace the shell script and just generate 
the trap.

I'm an expert Java programmer, but not particularly experienced with SNMP.

So far, I have started with this:

  private void sendTrap(String alertMsg){
         PDUv1 pdu = new PDUv1();
         pdu.setAgentAddress(new IpAddress("1.1.1.1"));
         pdu.setSpecificTrap(6);
         pdu.setGenericTrap(1);
         pdu.setEnterprise(new OID("1.2.3"));


         Logger.info("SNMP: " + pdu.toString());
     }

This prints at least some of the information I need to send. I think I 
need to create a Target and set things like the destination address and 
community string. But then how do I send the trap itself? The only 
example I've seen so far looked like it needed a listener, and I'm not 
expecting any response (or am I)??

Thanks in advance,

nbc
