Detailed Description

The CIMConstMethod class provides a const interface to a CIMMethod object. This class is needed because the shared representation model used by CIMMethod does not prevent modification to a const CIMMethod object. Note that the value of a CIMConstMethod object could still be modified by a CIMMethod object that refers to the same data copy.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Constructs an uninitialized CIMConstMethod object. A method invocation on an uninitialized object will result in the throwing of an UninitializedObjectException. An uninitialized object may be converted into an initialized object only by using the assignment operator with an initialized object.

Constructs a CIMConstMethod object from the value of a specified CIMConstMethod object, so that both objects refer to the same data copy.

Example:

            CIMConstMethod cm1(CIMName ("getHostName"), CIMTYPE_STRING);
            CIMConstMethod cm2(m1);
        
Parameters:
xThe CIMConstMethod object from which to construct a new CIMConstMethod object.

Constructs a CIMConstMethod object from the value of a specified CIMMethod object, so that both objects refer to the same data copy.

Example:

            CIMMethod m1(CIMName ("getHostName"), CIMTYPE_STRING);
            CIMConstMethod cm1(m1);
        
Parameters:
xThe CIMMethod object from which to construct a new CIMConstMethod object.
CIMConstMethod::CIMConstMethod ( const CIMName name,
CIMType  type,
const CIMName classOrigin = CIMName(),
Boolean  propagated = false 
)

Constructs a CIMConstMethod object with the specified attributes.

Example:

            CIMConstMethod m1(CIMName ("getHostName"), CIMTYPE_STRING);
        
Parameters:
nameCIMName defining the name for the method.
typeCIMType defining the method return type.
classOrigin(optional) CIMName representing the class origin. Note that this should normally not be used. If not provided set to CIMName() (Null name).
propagatedOptional flag indicating whether the definition of the CIM Method is local to the CIM Class (respectively, Instance) in which it appears, or was propagated without modification from a superclass. Default is false. Note that this attribute is normally not set by CIM Clients but is used internally within the CIM Server.
Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectExceptionIf the method name is null.

Member Function Documentation

Makes a deep copy of the method. This creates a new copy of all the method attributes including parameters and qualifiers.

Returns:
A CIMMethod object with a separate copy of the CIMConstMethod object.
Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectExceptionIf the object is not initialized.
Uint32 CIMConstMethod::findParameter ( const CIMName name) const

Finds a parameter by name.

Example:

            Uint32 posParameter;
            posParameter = m1.findParameter(CIMName ("ipaddress"));
            if (posParameter != PEG_NOT_FOUND)
                ...
        
Parameters:
nameA CIMName specifying the name of the parameter to be found.
Returns:
Index of the parameter if found or PEG_NOT_FOUND if not found.
Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectExceptionIf the object is not initialized.
Uint32 CIMConstMethod::findQualifier ( const CIMName name) const

Finds a qualifier by name.

Example:

            CIMMethod m1(CIMName ("getHostName"), CIMTYPE_STRING);
            m1.addQualifier(CIMQualifier(CIMName ("stuff"), true));
            CIMConstMethod m2(m1);
            assert(m2.findQualifier(CIMName ("stuff")) != PEG_NOT_FOUND);
        
Parameters:
nameA CIMName specifying the name of the qualifier to be found.
Returns:
Index of the qualifier if found or PEG_NOT_FOUND if not found.
Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectExceptionIf the object is not initialized.

Gets the class in which this method was defined. This information is normally available with methods that are part of a schema returned from a CIM Server.

Returns:
CIMName containing the classOrigin attribute.
Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectExceptionIf the object is not initialized.
const CIMName& CIMConstMethod::getName ( ) const

Gets the name of the method.

Example:

            CIMConstMethod m1(CIMName ("getHostName"), CIMTYPE_STRING);
            assert(m1.getName() == CIMName ("getHostName"));
        
Returns:
CIMName with the name of the method.
Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectExceptionIf the object is not initialized.

Gets the parameter at the specified index.

Example:

            CIMConstParameter cp;
            Uint32 parameterIndex = m1.findParameter(CIMName ("ipaddress"));
            if (parameterIndex != PEG_NOT_FOUND)
            {
                cp = m1.getParameter(parameterIndex);
            }
        
Parameters:
indexThe index of the parameter to be retrieved.
Returns:
The CIMConstParameter at the specified index.
Exceptions:
IndexOutOfBoundsExceptionIf the index is outside the range of parameters available for the CIMMethod.
UninitializedObjectExceptionIf the object is not initialized.

Gets the number of parameters in the method.

Returns:
An integer count of the CIMParameters in the CIMMethod.
Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectExceptionIf the object is not initialized.
Boolean CIMConstMethod::getPropagated ( ) const

Tests the propagated attribute of the object. The propagated attribute indicates whether this method was propagated from a higher-level class. Normally this attribute is set as part of defining a method in the context of a schema. It is set in methods retrieved from a CIM Server.

Returns:
True if method is propagated; otherwise, false.
Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectExceptionIf the object is not initialized.

Gets the qualifier at the specified index.

Example:

            CIMMethod m1(CIMName ("getHostName"), CIMTYPE_STRING);
            m1.addQualifier(CIMQualifier(CIMName ("stuff"), true));
            CIMConstMethod m2(m1);
