CIMInstance Class Reference
#include <CIMInstance.h>
Detailed Description
The CIMInstance class represents the DMTF standard CIM instance definition.
The CIMInstance class uses a shared representation model, such that multiple CIMInstance objects may refer to the same data copy. Assignment and copy operators create new references to the same data, not distinct copies. An update to a CIMInstance object affects all the CIMInstance objects that refer to the same data copy. The data remains valid until all the CIMInstance objects that refer to it are destructed. A separate copy of the data may be created using the clone method.
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
Constructs an uninitialized CIMInstance 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.
CIMInstance::CIMInstance ( const CIMInstance & x ) Constructs a CIMInstance object from the value of a specified CIMInstance object, so that both objects refer to the same data copy.
- Parameters:
x The CIMInstance object from which to construct a new CIMInstance object.
CIMInstance::CIMInstance ( const CIMObject & x ) [explicit]
Constructs a CIMInstance object from the value of a specified CIMObject object, so that both objects refer to the same data copy.
- Parameters:
x The CIMObject object from which to construct the CIMInstance object.
- Exceptions:
DynamicCastFailedException If a CIMInstance can not be created from the given CIMObject.
CIMInstance::CIMInstance ( const CIMName & className ) Constructs a CIMInstance object with the specified class name.
- Parameters:
className A CIMName specifying the class name of the instance. Destructs the CIMInstance object.
Member Function Documentation
CIMInstance& CIMInstance::addProperty ( const CIMProperty & x ) Adds a property to the instance.
- Parameters:
x The CIMProperty to be added.
- Returns:
- A reference to this CIMInstance object.
- Exceptions:
AlreadyExistsException If a property with the same name already exists in the CIMInstance. UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
CIMInstance& CIMInstance::addQualifier ( const CIMQualifier & qualifier ) Adds a qualifier to the instance.
- Parameters:
qualifier The CIMQualifier to be added.
- Returns:
- A reference to this CIMInstance object.
- Exceptions:
AlreadyExistsException If a qualifier with the same name already exists in the CIMInstance. UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
CIMObjectPath CIMInstance::buildPath ( const CIMConstClass & cimClass ) const Builds the object path for this instance, based on the class name and property values in the instance and the Key qualifiers on the properties in the class definition. The returned object path does not include hostname and namespace attributes. Note that this method does not update the path attribute of the CIMInstance.
- Returns:
- A CIMObjectPath containing the object path for the instance.

UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
CIMInstance CIMInstance::clone ( ) const Makes a deep copy of the instance. This creates a new copy of all the instance attributes including qualifiers and properties.
- Returns:
- A new copy of the CIMInstance object.
- Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
Uint32 CIMInstance::findProperty ( const CIMName & name ) const Finds a property by name.

- Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
Uint32 CIMInstance::findQualifier ( const CIMName & name ) const Finds a qualifier by name.
- Parameters:
name A 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:
UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
const CIMName& CIMInstance::getClassName ( ) const Gets the class name of the instance.
- Returns:
- A CIMName containing the class name.
- Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
const CIMObjectPath& CIMInstance::getPath ( ) const Gets the object path for the instance.
- Returns:
- A CIMObjectPath containing the object path.
- Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
CIMProperty CIMInstance::getProperty ( Uint32 index ) Gets the property at the specified index.
- Parameters:
index The index of the property to be retrieved.
- Returns:
- The CIMProperty at the specified index.
- Exceptions:
IndexOutOfBoundsException If the index is outside the range of properties available for the CIMInstance. UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
CIMConstProperty CIMInstance::getProperty ( Uint32 index ) const Gets the property at the specified index.
- Parameters:
index The index of the property to be retrieved.
- Returns:
- The CIMConstProperty at the specified index.
- Exceptions:
IndexOutOfBoundsException If the index is outside the range of properties available for the CIMInstance. UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
Uint32 CIMInstance::getPropertyCount ( ) const Gets the number of properties in the instance.
- Returns:
- An integer count of the properties in the CIMInstance.
- Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
CIMQualifier CIMInstance::getQualifier ( Uint32 index ) Gets the qualifier at the specified index.
- Parameters:
index The index of the qualifier to be retrieved.
- Returns:
- The CIMQualifier at the specified index.
- Exceptions:
IndexOutOfBoundsException If the index is outside the range of qualifiers available for the CIMInstance. UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
CIMConstQualifier CIMInstance::getQualifier ( Uint32 index ) const Gets the qualifier at the specified index.
- Parameters:
index The index of the qualifier to be retrieved.
- Returns:
- The CIMConstQualifier at the specified index.
- Exceptions:
IndexOutOfBoundsException If the index is outside the range of qualifiers available for the CIMInstance. UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
Uint32 CIMInstance::getQualifierCount ( ) const Gets the number of qualifiers in the instance.
- Returns:
- An integer count of the qualifiers in the CIMInstance.
- Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
Boolean CIMInstance::identical ( const CIMConstInstance & x ) const Compares the CIMInstance with a specified CIMConstInstance.
- Parameters:
x The CIMConstInstance to be compared.
- Returns:
- True if this instance is identical to the one specified, false otherwise.
- Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
Boolean CIMInstance::isUninitialized ( ) const Determines whether the object has been initialized.
- Returns:
- True if the object has not been initialized, false otherwise.
CIMInstance& CIMInstance::operator= ( const CIMInstance & x ) Assigns the value of the specified CIMInstance object to this object, so that both objects refer to the same data copy.
- Parameters:
x The CIMInstance object from which to assign this CIMInstance object.
