> JAX allows applications and services to dynamically extend an SNMP
> agent by new MIB objects using the AgentX protocol (RFC 2741). The
> JAX software consists of
> 
>   - a Java class library that represents AgentX connections, sessions,
>     registrations, and PDUs, and generic classes for MIB structures
>     like scalar groups, tables, and notifications.
> 
>   - a MIB compiler (built as part of the open-source libsmi software)
>     that allows to create stub classes for the JAX compliant
>     implementation of a given SMIv1/v2 MIB module.
> 
> Since JAX establishes a high-level sub-agent programming interface and
> comes with a MIB compiler, it supports easy and efficent sub-agent
> development.
> 
> JAX does not implement AgentX index allocation, capabilties
> registration, and makes no use of the AgentX Ping PDU.
> 
> JAX does not contain an AgentX master agent. It has been developed
> and tested with the AgentX master agent of the UCD-SNMP project.
> 
> Further documentation of the JAX and Jasmin software distributions and
> several related documents are available at the Jasmin home page.
