Constructor Detail

CIMParameter

public CIMParameter()

Creates and instantiates a CIM parameter

CIMParameter

public CIMParameter(java.lang.String name)

Takes a string for the name of an existing CIM parameter and creates a new instance of a CIM parameter, using the name and identifier of the existing CIM parameter.

Parameters:

name - name of an existing CIM parameter

Method Detail

setQualifiers

public void setQualifiers(java.util.Vector qTable)

Sets the list of qualifiers for this parameter to the specified list of qualifiers

Parameters:

qTable - list of qualifiers to be assigned to the parameter

getQualifiers

public java.util.Vector getQualifiers()

Returns the list of qualifiers for this parameter

Returns:

Vector list of qualifiers for this parameter

setType

public void setType(CIMDataType type)

Sets the data type of this parameter to the specified CIM data type

Parameters:

type - The CIM data type assigned to the parameter

getType

public CIMDataType getType()

Returns the data type of this parameter

Returns:

CIMDataType The CIM data type of this parameter

getSize

public int getSize()

Returns the size of this parameter

Returns:

int the integer value of the size of this parameter

setSize

public void setSize(int aSize)

Sets the size of this parameter to the specified size

Parameters:

aSize - the integer size assigned to this parameter

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a String representation of the CIMParameter. This method is intended to be used only for debugging purposes, and the format of the returned string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not be null.

Overrides:

toString in class CIMElement

Returns:

string representation of this parameter

public java.lang.String toMOF()

Returns a MOF representation of the CIMParameter

Returns:

a string representation of this parameter in Managed Object Format (MOF)

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Returns an object that is a copy of this CIM parameter. This method calls clone(boolean includeQualifier) with the true value, which indicates that this CIM parameter contains CIM qualifiers.

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

An object that is a copy of this CIM parameter.

getQualifier

public CIMQualifier getQualifier(java.lang.String name)

Returns the required qualifier of the parameter, if present in the parameter definition.

Parameters:

name - The name of the qualifier to get.

Returns:

CIMQualifier Null if the qualifier does not exist, otherwise returns the reference to the qualifier .
