If you are using scalar objects, then you should use the 'mib2c.scalar.conf' template. This will give you the basic framework of the necessary code. How you obtain the value(s) to return is outside the scope of this template. You'd need to insert the appropriate API calls to retrieve the corresponding value(s) from your other process. > Should I go for caching the data ? That's up to you. If retrieving the data is likely to take a while, then this would be a sensible approach. The cleanest approach would be to insert a 'cache_helper' into the handler chain before registering it, and have the load hook retrieve the data - this would work in exactly the same way as for table objects. (You could even have the one cache retrieve the data for *all* the scalar objects in one go, if this would be more efficient). If retrieving the data is a relatively trivial and quick operation, then it may not be necessary to maintain a cache. Just make the relevant API call as part of the scalar object handler.
