SnmpTableSupport

public abstract class SnmpTableSupport extends Object implements Serializable, SnmpTableEntryFactory, SnmpTableCallbackHandler
This class is an abstraction for an SNMP table. It is the base class for implementing SNMP tables in the MBean world.

Its responsibility is to synchronize the MBean view of the table (Table of entries) with the MIB view (array of OID indexes). Each object of this class will be bound to the Metadata object which manages the same SNMP Table within the MIB.

For each table defined in a MIB, mibgen will generate a specific class called TableTableName that will subclass this class, and a corresponding TableNameMeta class extending SnmpMibTable and corresponding to the MIB view of the same table.

Objects of this class are instantiated by MBeans representing the SNMP Group to which the table belong.

This API is a Sun Microsystems internal API and is subject to change without notice.

Constructors Summary
protected SnmpTableSupport(SnmpMib mib)
Initializes the table. The steps are these:
  • allocate an array for storing entry object,
  • retrieve the corresponding metadata object from the MIB,
  • bind this object to the corresponding metadata object from the MIB.

Methods Summary
protected voidaddEntry(SnmpIndex index, java.lang.Object entry)
Add an entry in this table. This method registers an entry in the table and perform synchronization with the associated table metadata object. This method assumes that the given entry will not be registered, or will be registered with its default ObjectName built from the associated SnmpIndex.

If the entry is going to be registered, then {@link com.sun.jmx.snmp.agent.SnmpTableSupport#addEntry(SnmpIndex, ObjectName, Object)} should be prefered.
This function is mainly provided for backward compatibility.

param
index The SnmpIndex built from the given entry.
param
entry The entry that should be added in the table.
exception
SnmpStatusException if the entry cannot be registered with the given index.

	SnmpOid oid = buildOidFromIndex(index);
	ObjectName name = null;
	if (isRegistrationRequired()) {
	    name = buildNameFromIndex(index);
	}
	meta.addEntry(oid,name,entry);
    
protected voidaddEntry(SnmpIndex index, javax.management.ObjectName name, java.lang.Object entry)
Add an entry in this table. This method registers an entry in the table and performs synchronization with the associated table metadata object.

param
index The SnmpIndex built from the given entry.
param
name The ObjectName with which this entry will be registered.
param
entry The entry that should be added in the table.
exception
SnmpStatusException if the entry cannot be registered with the given index.

	SnmpOid oid = buildOidFromIndex(index);
	meta.addEntry(oid,name,entry);
    
public voidaddEntryCb(int pos, com.sun.jmx.snmp.SnmpOid row, javax.management.ObjectName name, java.lang.Object entry, SnmpMibTable meta)
This callback is called by the associated metadata object when a new table entry has been registered in the table metadata. This method will update the entries list.

param
pos The position at which the new entry was inserted in the table.
param
row The row OID of the new entry
param
name The ObjectName of the new entry (as specified by the factory)
param
entry The new entry (as returned by the factory)
param
meta The table metadata object.

	try {
	    if (entries != null) entries.add(pos,entry);
	} catch (Exception e) {
	    throw new SnmpStatusException(SnmpStatusException.noSuchName);
	}
    
public voidaddNotificationListener(javax.management.NotificationListener listener, javax.management.NotificationFilter filter, java.lang.Object handback)
Enables to add an SNMP entry listener to this SnmpMibTable.

param

handback The context to be sent to the listener when a notification is emitted.
exception
IllegalArgumentException Listener parameter is null.

	meta.addNotificationListener(listener,filter,handback);
    
protected java.util.ListallocateTable()
Allocates an ArrayList for storing table entries. This method is called within the constructor at object creation. Any object implementing the {@link java.util.List} interface can be used.

[default: returns false]
see
com.sun.jmx.snmp.agent.SnmpMibTable

	return meta.isCreationEnabled();
