Abstract

Claims (42)

1. A method for generating configuration code using an SNMPMIB, comprising:

generating a first configuration layer based on an Extensible Markup Language (XML) MIB derived from the SNMP MIB, wherein the first configuration layer is configured to provide an SNMP Agent with access to a second configuration layer; and

generating the second configuration layer based on the XML MIB for a configuration table, wherein the second configuration layer comprises methods for managing the configuration table, and wherein the second configuration layer is configured to:

receive a configuration request containing configuration information representing a change to a configuration table from the SNMP Agent;

call a first configuration listener method from a configuration listener layer;

receive a status code corresponding to the configuration request from the first configuration listener layer; and

if the status code indicates a success:

save the configuration information with a Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) layer, wherein the JAXB layer is generated based on the XML MIB derived from the SNMP MIB; and

call a second configuration listener method to persist the change.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating an XML schema based on the XML MIB that represents an input to the JAXB layer.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second configuration layer is configured to call a table listener.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second configuration layer is configured to call a group listener.

5. A computer-readable storage medium carrying program instructions executable by a processor to perform automated code generation using a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Information Base (MIB), wherein code generated by the automated code generation comprises:

at least a first configuration layer and a second configuration layer, where the first configuration layer is operable to provide an SNMP Agent with access to the second configuration layer, wherein the second configuration layer comprises methods for managing a configuration table, and wherein the second configuration layer is operable to:

receive a configuration request from the SNMP Agent, wherein the configuration request contains configuration information representing a change to the configuration table;

call a first configuration listener from a configuration listener layer, wherein the configuration listener layer comprises a configuration table listener for monitoring changes to the configuration table and a configuration group listener for monitoring changes to a configuration group;

receive a status code from the first configuration listener; and

if the status code indicates a success:

save the configuration information with a Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) layer wherein the JAXB layer was generated based on an Extensible Markup LanQuaQe (XML) MIB derived from the SNMP MIB; and

call a second configuration listener to persist the change.

6. The storage medium of claim 5 , wherein the code generated comprises a test.

7. The storage medium of claim 5 , wherein the code generated comprises a log message.

8. The storage medium of claim 5 , wherein the first configuration layer comprises an XML Schema Definition (XSD) generator.

9. The storage medium of claim 5 , wherein the first configuration layer comprises an Agent Code generator.

10. The storage medium of claim 5 , wherein the first configuration layer comprises a Configuration Code generator.

11. The storage medium of claim 5 , wherein the first configuration layer comprises an API configuration layer.

12. A system for automated code generation using a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Information Base (MIB), comprising:

a processor; and a memory having computer executable instructions operable to implement a code generator for generating:

a first configuration layer for providing an SNMP Agent with access to a second configuration layer, wherein the first configuration layer is based on an Extensible Markup Language (XML) MIB derived from the SNMP MIB;

a configuration group listener generated from a configuration listener layer for monitoring changes to a configuration group;

a configuration table listener generated from a configuration listener layer for monitoring changes to a configuration table;

a second configuration layer for generating a JAXB persistence code, wherein the second configuration layer is operable to:

receive a configuration request containing configuration information representing a change to the configuration table from the SNMP Agent;

call a first configuration listener from the configuration group listener and configuration table listener;

receive a first status code from the first configuration listener; and

if the status code indicates a success:

save the configuration information with a JAXB layer; wherein the JAXB layer was generated based on the Extensible Markup Language (XML) MIB derived from the SNMP MIB; and

call the second configuration listener for persisting the change.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the code generated comprises a test.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the code generated comprises a log message.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the first configuration layer comprises an XSD generator.
