- * This interface is provided to enable fine customization of the SNMP
- * agent behaviour.
- *
- * <p>You will not need to implement this interface except if your agent
- * needs extra customization requiring some contextual information.</p>
- *
- * <p>If an SnmpUserDataFactory is set on the SnmpAdaptorServer, then a new
- * object containing user-data will be allocated through this factory
- * for each incoming request. This object will be passed along to
- * the SnmpMibAgent within SnmpMibRequest objects. By default, no
- * SnmpUserDataFactory is set on the SnmpAdaptorServer, and the contextual
- * object passed to SnmpMibAgent is null.</p>
- *
- * <p>You can use this feature to obtain on contextual information
- * (such as community string etc...) or to implement a caching
- * mechanism, or for whatever purpose might be required by your specific
- * agent implementation.</p>
- *
- * <p>The sequence <code>allocateUserData() / releaseUserData()</code> can
- * also be used to implement a caching mechanism:
- * <ul>
- * <li><code>allocateUserData()</code> could be used to allocate
- * some cache space,</li>
- * <li>and <code>releaseUserData()</code> could be used to flush it.</li>
- * </ul></p>
