SnmpValue

public SnmpValue()

Method Detail

toAsn1String

public String toAsn1String()

Returns a String form containing ASN.1 tagging information.

Returns:

The String form.

toOid

public abstract SnmpOid toOid()

Returns the value encoded as an OID. The method is particularly useful when dealing with indexed table made of several SNMP variables.

Returns:

The value encoded as an OID.

getTypeName

public abstract String getTypeName()

Returns a textual description of the object.

Returns:

ASN.1 textual description.

duplicate

public abstract SnmpValue duplicate()

Same as clone, but you cannot perform cloning using this object because clone is protected. This method should call clone().

Returns:

The SnmpValue clone.

isNoSuchObjectValue

public boolean isNoSuchObjectValue()

This method returns false by default and is redefined in the SnmpNull class.

isNoSuchInstanceValue

public boolean isNoSuchInstanceValue()

This method returns false by default and is redefined in the SnmpNull class.

isEndOfMibViewValue

public boolean isEndOfMibViewValue()

This method returns false by default and is redefined in the SnmpNull class.
