Method Detail

addCIMListener

public void addCIMListener(CIMListener l)
                    throws CIMException

Adds the specified CIMListener to receive Indications from the CIM Server. In order to force the client to stop listening for Indications, close() must be called. If close() is not called, listening for Indications may still continue. The calling client program will not be able to exit without calling System.exit(). Any duplicate listeners are ignored.

Parameters:

l - The CIMListener to add to receive Indications from the CIM Server.

Throws:

CIMException - If unsuccessful, one of the following status codes must be returned. The ORDERED list is:

   CIM_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED,
   CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED (if CIMOM does not support events),
   CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER (including missing, duplicate, unrecognized 
   or otherwise incorrect parameters),
   CIM_ERR_FAILED (some other unspecified error occurred)

                         boolean includeQualifiers,
                         boolean includeClassOrigin,
                         java.lang.String[] propertyList)
                  throws CIMException

Returns the CIMClass for the specified CIMObjectPath.

Parameters:

name - The object path of the class to be returned. Only the name space and class name components are used. All other information (e.g. keys) is ignored.

localOnly - If true, only elements (properties, methods, references) overridden or defined in the class are included in the CIMClass returned. If false, all elements of the class definition are returned.

includeQualifiers - If true, all Qualifiers for the class and its elements are included in the CIMClass returned. If false, no Qualifier information is contained in the CIMClass returned.

includeClassOrigin - If true, the CLASSORIGIN attribute will be present on all appropriate elements in the CIMClass returned. If false, no CLASSORIGIN attributes are present in the CIMClass returned. CLASSORIGIN is attached to an element (properties, methods, references) to indicate the class in which it was first defined.

propertyList - An array of property names used to filter what is contained in the CIMClass returned. The CIMClass returned only contains elements for the properties of the names specified. Duplicate and invalid property names are ignored and the request is otherwise processed normally. An empty array indicates that no properties should be returned. A null value indicates that all properties should be returned.

Returns:

The CIM class identified by the CIMObjectPath

Throws:

CIMException - If unsuccessful, one of the following status codes must be returned. The ORDERED list is:

   CIM_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED,
   CIM_ERR_INVALID_NAMESPACE,
   CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER (including missing, duplicate, unrecognized 
   or otherwise incorrect parameters),
   CIM_ERR_NOT_FOUND (the request CIM Class does not exist in the
   specified namespace) 
   CIM_ERR_FAILED (some other unspecified error occurred)
 

getIndicationHandler

public CIMInstance getIndicationHandler(CIMListener cl)
                                 throws CIMException

This method returns an Instance of the subclass of CIM_IndicationHandler defined for the client's protocol. Thus, for HTTP, an Instance of CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML is returned. For RMI, an Instance of the subclass of CIM_IndicationHandler defined for RMI is returned. The returned Instance of the subclass of CIM_IndicationHandler should then be passed to createInstance() to establish a handler in the CIM object manager.* Using this method, a client can create a protocol independent implementation for creating a CIM_IndicationHandler subclass Instance.

Parameters:

cl - CIMListener for which a CIM_IndicationHandler subclass is being returned. If null, the Instance of the CIM_IndicationHandler subclass returned can be used to deliver Indications to all listeners that have been added by the addCIMListener() call. If non-null, the returned handler can be used to deliver Indications to a specific listener. NOTE: Unique listeners should return unique values in their hashCode methods in order to be differentiated. Also note that some implementations may have partial support. For example, they may set cl to null or non-null.

Returns:

Instance of the CIM_IndicationHandler subclass defined for the client's protocol.

Throws:

CIMException - If unsuccessful, one of the following status codes must be returned. The ORDERED list is:

   CIM_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED,
   CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED (if CIMOM does not support events),
   CIM_ERR_FAILED (some other unspecified error occurred)

includeQualifiers - If true, all Qualifiers for the instance and its elements are included in the CIMInstance returned. If false, no Qualifier information is contained in the CIMInstance returned.

includeClassOrigin - If true, the CLASSORIGIN attribute will be present on all appropriate elements in the CIMInstance returned. If false, no CLASSORIGIN attributes are present in the CIMInstance returned. CLASSORIGIN is attached to an element (properties, methods, references) to indicate the class in which it was first defined.

propertyList - An array of property names used to filter what is contained in the CIMClass returned. The CIMClass returned only contains elements for the properties of the names specified. Duplicate and invalid property names are ignored and the request is otherwise processed normally. An empty array indicates that no properties should be returned.
