[SNMP4J] Updating registered managed objects (adding rows to MIB table)

Frank,
Here is the code snippet for the main class (snmpAgentClientMain.java):
http://snipt.org/zfhab7. The agent code starts in line 110, MIB table is
constructed in lines 129 (using MOTableBuilder class) and createMibTable
function defined in snmpAgentClientMain class. The MOTableBuilder.java class
is snipped at http://snipt.org/zfhac3 and it is used to build the table
structure in a more organized fashion.
Looking through the code of the MOTableBuilder class, and seeing how it is
used in snmpAgentClientMain class (line
server.registerManagedObject(builder.build());), I am not cure how to add
more row values to the table that was constructed using either the
MOTableBuilder wrapper or using just functions defined in snmp4j library. At
some point of time, MOTable has to be created (its structure defined), row
values are added (I assume it is done using addRow function from snmp4j
class), and then registered with the agent (server.registerManagedObject()
function). Once it is registered, is there any way to just add rows with
values to the previously registered MIB table? Can I just use addRow on the
MOMutableTableModel type?

Hi Marek,
I do not know a "addRowValue" command and what is a "builder"?
I meant to use the
http://www.snmp4j.org/agent/doc/org/snmp4j/agent/mo/MOTable.html#addRow(R)
method to add a row.
A table definition (MIB specification) never has any rows.
Best regards,
Frank
