Class SnmpSession

    java.lang.Object
      javax.management.snmp.manager.SnmpSession

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Runnable, Serializable, SnmpDefinitions

Deprecated. Use package `com.sun.management.snmp.manager` in preference to classes in this package. This class may be removed in a future version of Java DMK.

public class SnmpSession
extends Object
implements SnmpDefinitions, Runnable, Serializable

Creates, controls, and manages one or more requests. A session is associated with one SnmpEngine (see RFC 2571). It can construct the engine or make use of an already created one. A session can be bound to a peer so that all requests created (without specifying a peer) will use this as the default. Alternatively, there can be a mixture of peers, that is, two requests can talk to two different peers.

In a typical manager application, a single engine is needed. So you should share a session within your process.

WARNING: Be aware that if you instantiate another session, you will instantiate another engine.

Each `SnmpSession` has a dispatcher, which is a thread used to service all the requests it creates. Each `SnmpSession` uses a separate socket for sending requests and receiving responses. The socket imposes an upper limit on the size of response packets. Any packet which exceeds this limit is truncated. By default, this limit is `SnmpPeer.defaultSnmpResponsePktSize`. It can be changed using `setResponsePktSize(int)`.

This class implements an SNMP command interface which provides a variety of convenience methods that are used to create requests. Each of the requests performs a specific SNMP operation. These methods are simple to use and automatically start the request. The session maintains the list of all active requests and responses.

Users can explicitly create and start requests. This is usually not required for most applications.

Each method provides specific SNMP operations like `SnmpGet`, `SnmpGetNext` and `SnmpSet`. The `SnmpGet` and `SnmpGetNext` operations can be either poll or non-poll. In addition, there is a convenience method which automatically walks through a set of instances starting at any arbitrary place in the MIB hierarchy and terminates when a specified condition becomes `true`.

The requests are retried when the peer does not respond within a specified time. There is a maximum try limit. Certain options of sessions can be configured using the `SnmpOptions` object. This allows enabling and disabling of features like fixing protocol data units (PDU) on error, handling `SnmpTooBig` errors and multiplexing requests. If not specified, the default value sets the following options:

- multiplex allowed
- fix PDU on error
- handle too big PDU

Once a session is created the user can perform one or more SNMP operations in a one-at-a-time sequence. Usually this sequence is a set of logical operations which together form a complete operation. For example, a `SnmpSet` operation, which involves an initial query to the agent for obtaining a valid index. This is followed by one or more `SnmpSet` commands to complete the set operation.

At any time, one or more requests active in a session can be canceled.

  Deprecated.
  Starts polling the peer at the specified intervals, for the MIB variables in the variable binding list. It saves the original variable binding list that is used during each poll. It performs an SNMP `getnext` request on the saved original variable binding list and provides the response to the user via the callback mechanism. This method is similar to `snmpGetPoll` except that it uses `getnext` on the original variable binding list instead of `get`.

  Parameters:
    `peer` - The SNMP peer object.
    `cb` - The callback that is invoked when the request is complete.
    `vblst` - A list of `SnmpVarBind` objects.
    `intrvl` - The frequency of polling (in seconds).
  Throws:
    `SnmpStatusException` - An error occurred during the operation.

  - `sysUpTime.0` with its current value.
  - `snmpTrapOid.0` with the value specified by `trapOid`.
  - `all the (oid, values)` from the specified variable binding list.

  Parameters:
    `peer` - The SNMP peer object.
    `cb` - The callback that gets invoked when request is complete.
    `trapOid` - The OID identifying the inform request.
    `vblst` - A list of `SnmpVarBind` objects.

                                        throws SnmpStatusException

  Deprecated.
  Performs a single SNMP `inform` request on the variable binding list. Uses the default peer.

  Note:
  Take care when using the default SNMP peer in your requests.
  Indeed, the default port for sending inform requests (162) is not the same used for the `get`, `getnext`, `set` etc... operations (161). So the peer to be used should not be the same.
  To avoid any confusion, you can:

  - either specify explicitly the SNMP peer to be used in the request.
  - or define 2 sessions, one dealing with operations and using the default peer/port 161, the other dealing with inform requests and using the default peer/port 162.

  Parameters:
    `cb` - The callback that gets invoked when request is complete.
    `trapOid` - The OID identifying the inform request.
    `vblst` - A list of `SnmpVarBind` objects.
  Throws:
    `SnmpStatusException` - An error occurred during the operation.
    `IllegalArgumentException` - If no default peer has been set.

### snmpWalkUntilRequest

    public final SnmpRequest snmpWalkUntilRequest(SnmpPeer peer,
                                                  SnmpRequestHandler cb,
                                                  SnmpVarBindList vblst,
                                                  SnmpOid key)
                                           throws SnmpStatusException

  Deprecated.
  Walks through the lexicographic ordering of the agent MIB. It starts at the specified variable binding list and continues until the OID key specified as a parameter is "smaller" than the first variable in the response variable binding list or an error occurs. Typically, this feature is used to walk through an arbitrary table and obtain all rows satisfying a specific condition. The condition may be a specific instance combination for a MIB variable or a MIB variable OID `entry` object.

       String var[] = {"sysDescr"} ;
       SnmpVarBindList vblst = new SnmpVarBindList() ;
       vblst.addVarBind(var) ;
       SnmpRequest request = session.snmpWalkUntil(null, vblst, new SnmpOid("sysServices")) ;

  This example walks through the `system` group and gets all the variables in this group.

       SnmpRequest request = session.snmpWalkUntil(null, vblst, new SnmpOid("1.4")) ;

  This example walks through the entire agent MIB starting at `sysDescr`.

       String var[] = {"sysDescr.0"} ;
       SnmpVarBindList vblst = new SnmpVarBindList() ;
       vblst.addVarBind(var) ;
       SnmpRequest request = session.snmpWalkUntil(null, vblst, new SnmpOid("sysServices.0")) ;

  This example walks through the `system` group beginning after the `sysDescr` variable (not included) and ending with the `sysServices` variable (included).

  If there is more than one variable in the specified variable binding list, the request will start at the first variable of the list.

  The `snmpWalkUntil` request can be called in asynchronous mode only.

  Parameters:
    `peer` - The peer object to talk to.
    `cb` - The callback that is invoked when the request completes.
    `vblst` - A list of `SnmpVarBind` objects.
    `key` - Condition key that must be a subset of the first variable in the response variable binding list. Walk terminates if this condition is `false`.
  Throws:
    `SnmpStatusException` - An error occurred during the operation.
    `IllegalArgumentException` - If peer parameter is null and no default peer has been set.

### anyPendingResponses

    public boolean anyPendingResponses()

  Deprecated.
  Indicates whether there are any responses available for processing. These responses belong to the requests made using this session.

  Returns:
    `true` if a response is available, `false` otherwise.

### finalize

    public void finalize()

  Deprecated.
  Finalizer of the `SnmpSession` objects. This method is called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.

  Removes all the requests for this SNMP session, closes the socket and sets all the references to the `SnmpSession` object to `null`.
