Abstract

More particularly, one embodiment of the present invention provides a method that automatically generates all layers of a configuration framework, including SNMP agent integration, JAXB persistence, and hooks for application specific listener code.

Claims

1. A method that generates configuration code using an SNMP MIB, comprising:

generating a first configuration layer based on an 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;

generating the second configuration layer based on the XML MIB for a configuration table comprising methods for managing the configuration table, wherein the second configuration layer is configured to;

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

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

receive a first status code from the configuration listener layer;

if the status code indicates a success;

save the configuration information with a JAXB layer;

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.
