Class CIMDataType

java.lang.Object
  javax.cim.CIMDataType

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class CIMDataType

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.Serializable

This class represent a CIM data types as defined by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) CIM Infrastructure Specification (DSP004). The CIM only allows a set number of data type. This class defines the mapping of CIM data types to Java objects.

Note: CIM allows the fixed size of an array as part of the data type. The predefined classes are unbounded.

The following table shows the mapping of CIM Data Type to Java.

CIM Data Type	Java Representation
uint8	UnsignedInteger8

Constructor Detail

CIMDataType

public CIMDataType(int pType,
                   int pSize)

Constructs a CIMDataType array object of the specified type and size. This should only be used when the size is being limited/defined as part of the datatype.

Parameters:

pType - The data type as define in the CIM class

pSize - The maximum number of elements in the array.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - Thrown if the pSize value specified is not a positive integer.

CIMDataType

public CIMDataType(java.lang.String pClassName)

Creates a new CIM REFERENCE data type object with the specified class reference.

Parameters:

pClassName - The CIM class reference name.

CIMDataType

public CIMDataType(java.lang.String pClassName,
                   int pSize)

Creates a new CIM REFERENCE_ARRAY data type object with the specified class reference.

Parameters:

pClassName - The CIM class reference name.

pSize - The size of the array. 0 indicates the array is unbounded.

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Checks that the specified object is a CIM data type.

Parameters:

obj - the object to check

Returns:

true if the specified object is a CIM data type. Otherwise, false.

getDataType

public static final CIMDataType getDataType(java.lang.Object o)

Get the data type of an object.

Parameters:

o - The object whose data type to return.

Returns:

The data type of the specified object.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if o is not a valid CIM Type

getRefClassName

public java.lang.String getRefClassName()

Returns the class name of the CIM REFERENCE data type.

Returns:

The CIM REFERENCE class name

getSize

public int getSize()

Returns the size of the maximum number of elements an array data type may hold.

Returns:

The maximum size of the array data type.

getType

public int getType()

Returns the data typep

Returns:

The data type

isArray

public boolean isArray()

Checks if the data type is an array type.

Returns:

True if the data type is an array type, false otherwise.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a String representation of the CIMDataType. 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.

Returns:

String A string representation of this data type
