Snmp for oids with multiple values

Question

Hi,
So if we have array of OIDs defined in the mib file (eg, 1.3.6.1.4.1.22.1.1, 1.3.6.1.4.1.22.1.2, 1.3.6.1.4.1.22.1.3 and so on each having different values). does anyone know how can we capture this using SNMP fetchlet?
or
do we need to specify each oid separately?
Thanks

Maybe I misunderstood lushhay here. I thought lushhay wanted to associate a key with multiple values. So one way is to have the value of the Hashtable key to be an ArrayList.
Hashtable table = new HashTable();
String key1 = "myKey";
String key2 = "myKey2";
Date value1 = (some date value);
Date value2 = (another date value);
Date value3 = (another date value);
ArrayList valueList = new ArrayList();
valueList.add(value1);
valueList.add(value2);
valueList.add(value3);
table.put(key1,valueList);
This would associate "myKey1" with 3 date values stored in an ArrayList.
There is a downside to using the string concatenation method. You assume that the content of each values will never contain a delimiter. You also assume that the values are strings. But if the values are byte[], the string concatenation will not work. If the values are Dates, it can still work, but you would have to convert it from Date to String then concatenate, then get the String value through StringTokenizer and then convert back to Date.
But anyways, if the values are Strings (and won't contain the delimiter character), then the concatenation method would suffice.
