[SNMP4J] How to hook up a trap trigger from application?

[Binh Le]

Thanks Franks for the guideline. That's really helpful, but I'm still
stuck at one point to move on with my learning on your SNMP4J stack:

As far as I understand so far, there are more than one way to create the agent.

1. An agent is created via AgentConfigManager like in the SampleAgent
example, and we can get the agent's NotificationOriginator via the
interface getNotificationOriginator().

2. An agent can also be created by implementing the BaseAgent as in
the TestAgent example. In that case, how can I reach the
AgentConfigManager in order to access the agent's
NotificationOriginator?

To be more specific, here is what I'm doing:

- Implement IF-MIB based on the code generated by Agent Pro.
- Hooking snmp4jAgentHBEvent() for testing notification generation, to
trigger this notification every time ifNumber is inquiry :).

Thanks a lot in advance,
Binh
