RE: [Mibble-users] Need to extract value of Object-Type, syntax

[Per Cederberg]

Hi,

The MibbleBrowser currently doesn't print the symbol names in
an enumeration, but only the constrained values. I agree this
is a bit stupid, so I'll see if I can get in a quick fix for
that by Mibble 2.6.

The way to retrieve the enumeration names is to first get the
IntegerType, then calling the getAllSymbols(). The list
returned contains MibValueSymbols with the name and value of
a single enumeration constant. Here is a code snipplet from
the new MibWriter to explain the concept:

    /**
     * Returns all enumeration values for a MIB type. If the type
     * didn't have any enumerated values, null will be returned.
     *
     * @param type           the MIB type
     *
     * @return the MIB enumeration value symbols, or
     *         null if no symbols were set
     */
    private MibValueSymbol[] getSymbols(MibType type) {
        if (type instanceof IntegerType) {
            return ((IntegerType) type).getAllSymbols();
        } else if (type instanceof BitSetType) {
            return ((BitSetType) type).getAllSymbols();
        } else if (type instanceof SnmpTextualConvention) {
            return getSymbols(((SnmpTextualConvention)
type).getSyntax());
        } else {
            return null;
        }
    }

Please check the new MibblePrinter application in 2.6.alpha5
to see if Mibble really misses something during parsing. You
can find the download here:
