[snmp] Westhawk SNMP in JBoss or J2EE servers?

[Tim H. Panton]

I don't think it is the threading that would be a problem
per-se. We need (at minimum) one datagram socket listening
on port 161, and reasonable degree of certainty that datagram
will be received and queued. I have no clue how you can do that in J2EE.

Hi,

I'm concerned that it is difficult to use the Westhawk SNMP stack in 
JBoss and other J2EE servers.  After sending many SNMP get requests, 
JBoss becomes slow.

J2EE/EJB specifications prohibit thread creation.  I believe the threads 
created by the stack are causing the issues in JBoss.

The `nothread' notes provide a solution for sending traps, but this is 
not a complete solution.

J2EE offers solutions such as Timer beans, Connectors and MBeans that 
could be used to achieve the functionality provided by threading, in an 
EJB compliant manner.

Have these issues already been considered?

Is anyone already running the stack successfully in JBoss?

Is anyone already working on a solution to this problem?

Regards,

Daniel
