This interface is implemented by mibgen generated table objects inheriting from SnmpTableSupport.

It is used internally by the metadata whenever a remote SNMP manager requests the creation of a new entry through an SNMP SET.

At creation, the mibgen generated table object retrieves its corresponding metadata from the MIB and registers with this metadata as a SnmpTableEntryFactory.

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

public interface SnmpTableEntryFactory extends SnmpTableCallbackHandler {
This method is called by the SNMP runtime whenever a new entry creation is requested by a remote manager. The factory is responsible for instantiating the appropriate MBean and for registering it with the appropriate metadata object. Usually this method will:
  • Check whether the creation can be accepted
  • Instantiate a new entry
  • Possibly register this entry with the MBeanServer, if needed.
  • Call addEntry() on the given meta object.
This method is usually generated by mibgen on table objects (inheriting from SnmpTableSupport).

This method is called internally by the SNMP runtime whenever a new entry creation is requested by a remote SNMP manager. You should never need to call this method directlty.

Params:
  • request – The SNMP subrequest containing the sublist of varbinds for the new entry.
  • rowOid – The OID indexing the conceptual row (entry) for which the creation was requested.
  • depth – The depth reached in the OID tree (the position at which the columnar object ids start in the OIDs included in the varbind).
  • meta – The metadata object impacted by the subrequest
