I haven't looked closely at NetsnmpJ, but my guess is that it's probably more aimed at client-side programming. An SNMP agent is typically very closely linked with the host O/S (in order to retrieve the necessary information, which is often held in an O/S-specific form anyway), so the alleged system-independence of Java is less relevant. > But to write the custom features(like reading a text file > on a particular system) how can I write a MIB as well as SubAgent? A MIB is simply a definition of how the information is to be structured. This is completely independent of the language used to implement that particular MIB. So it doesn't matter whether you end up implementing the MIB in C, C++, Java or anything else. This won't affect the MIB that you define. And if you implement your MIB as part of an AgentX subagent, then again it doesn't matter what language you write it in, or what toolkit you use - it should be able to work with the master AgentX agent just the same.
