This shall be the logical flow of the implementation

• Get the encoded Trap Data
• Send the Trap 

The code snippet above shows a simple way of creating and encoding a Trap PDU. Essentially, we create an instance of PDU class and sets the type as Trap. This is important, else SNMP4J shall throw an exception. Thereafter, we can set the trap parameters. Here, we have hardcoded the parameters, there can be custom implementations that can take these from config files or from UI. After setting the parameters, we just call the encode function passing the Output stream and collect the byte array to be sent.

Sending part is even simpler     

The send code is preety straight forward. Here we have used Datagram Socket, we can use Apache MINA UDP Client implementation to send the trap as well.
