1.6.1 Class Containing the SNMP View of a Table (Metadata Class)

The metadata class containing the SNMP view of a table contains all the management of the table index. Usually you do not need to subclass or access the generated table Metadata classes, except when implementing virtual tables. See SNMP Virtual Table example in the Java Dynamic Management Kit 5.1 Tutorial for details.

The class name is derived from the name of the table, and is postfixed by Meta. For example, for a table named sysApplInstallPkgTable in the MIB, mibgen will generate a Metadata class called SysApplInstallPkgTableMeta.
