[SNMP4J] Intercepting gets and sets from the Network Manager to individual cells in an MOTable

[Frank Fock]

Hi Brad,

You might want to read the SNMP4J-Agent instrumentation guide with more 
conceptual
background and detailed examples:

http://www.snmp4j.org/SNMP4J-Agent-1.4-InstrumentationGuide.pdf

The most intuitive approach would be to override the
http://www.snmp4j.org/agent/doc/org/snmp4j/agent/mo/DefaultMOMutableRow2PC.html
class by creating your own
http://www.snmp4j.org/agent/doc/org/snmp4j/agent/mo/DefaultMOMutableRow2PCFactory.html

If you can easily integrate an generic solution, then using the
http://www.snmp4j.org/agent/doc/org/snmp4j/agent/MOServerLookupListener.html
could also be an option. With that listener you can intercept incoming 
SET (or GET*) requests
and update your ManagedObjects before they have to process the request.

The instrumentation guide has examples for both.

Best regards,
Frank

> We have been tasked to create an SNMP agent for our application.   Our application can have multiple instances within the same JVM, and we have been able to create an agent using MOTables that shows each instance as a row in a table to the Network Manager.    However we are struggling with how to go about intercepting the 'getValue' or 'setValue' to each cell in this table as we have been able to do quite easily for MOScalar - by simply subclassing it and over-riding the getValue and setValue methods.

However, we have found that the VariantVariable is overwritten when a set is received by the SNMP4J from the NetworkManager.  So, the VariantVariableCallback 'updateVariable' works well, until a 'set' is received from the Network Manager -- after which the VariantVariableCallback stops working because the VariableVariable object appears to have been de-referenced.
