#3 Setting MIB values fails if multiple groups are registered.

[Jakob]

Hi,
the error is reproducable at the following

Configuration:

- session:AgentXSession is instantiated and connected
to the local master agent Net-SNMP via
connection:AgentXConnection.

- group groupA:AgentXGroup is registered to session to
handle MIB requests for .1.2.3.1.1

- groupA comprises one scalar MIB object of type
integer with OID .1.2.3.1.1.1.0

- group groupB:AgentXGroup is registered to session to
handle MIB requests for .1.2.3.1.1.2

- groupB comprises one scalar MIB object of type
integer with OID .1.2.3.1.1.2.1.0

- snmpset -v2c -cprivate localhost .1.2.3.1.1.2.1.0 i 5
returns INCONSISTENT_NAME although the MIB object
obviously exists.

Reason:

In method AgentXSession.handleSetRequest() groups are
unsufficiently tested on whether they comprise a given
OID or not:

...
int x = oid.compareTo(group.getOID());
if ((x == 0) || (x > group.getOID().getLength())) break;
...

These lines only test, if the OIDs are exactly the same
or the
the OID to be set resides in a subtree of the group
OID. Comparing .1.2.3.1.1 and .1.2.3.1.1.2.1.0 the
latter holds true, i.e. .1.2.3.1.1.2.1.0 indeed seems
to reside in a subtree of .1.2.3.1.1. The second
registered group is never tested. Anyway groupA does
not contain a scalar with such an OID,
INCONSISTENT_NAME is returned.

Solution:

All registered groups must be tested, to actually
contain the scalar MIB object in question. For this
purpose group.getElement() must be called for each
registered group.
I am going to attach the fixed AgentXSession.java. Any
comments are very much appreciated.

Kind regards

Is this in the 0.0.17 or 0.0.16 or both?

Thanks,

Didn't see the attached file. However, can you upload a
copy of the interface IfAgentXSession you created? What is
the puropse behind this interface and where else are you
referencing it?
