CIMObject Class Reference
#include <CIMObject.h>
Detailed Description
The CIMObject class represents the DMTF standard CIM object definition, which may represent a CIMClass or a CIMInstance.
The CIMObject class uses a shared representation model, such that multiple CIMObject 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 CIMObject object affects all the CIMObject objects that refer to the same data copy. The data remains valid until all the CIMObject 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 CIMObject 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.
CIMObject::CIMObject ( const CIMObject & x )
CIMObject::CIMObject ( const CIMClass & x )
CIMObject::CIMObject ( const CIMInstance & x ) Constructs a CIMObject 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 the CIMObject object. Destructs the CIMObject object.
Member Function Documentation
CIMObject& CIMObject::addProperty ( const CIMProperty & x ) Adds a property to the object.
- Parameters:
x The CIMProperty to be added.
- Returns:
- A reference to this CIMObject object.
- Exceptions:
AlreadyExistsException If a property with the same name already exists in the CIMObject. UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
CIMObject& CIMObject::addQualifier ( const CIMQualifier & qualifier ) Adds a qualifier to the object.
- Parameters:
qualifier The CIMQualifier to be added.
- Returns:
- A reference to this CIMObject object.
- Exceptions:
AlreadyExistsException If a qualifier with the same name already exists in the CIMObject. UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
CIMObject CIMObject::clone ( ) const Makes a deep copy of the object. This creates a new copy of all the object attributes including qualifiers and properties.

- Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
Uint32 CIMObject::findQualifier ( const CIMName & name ) const Finds a qualifier by name.
- Parameters:
name A CIMName specifying the name of the qualifier to be found.

UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
const CIMName& CIMObject::getClassName ( ) const Gets the class name of the object.
- Returns:
- A CIMName containing the class name.

UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
const CIMObjectPath& CIMObject::getPath ( ) const Gets the object path for the object.
- Returns:
- A CIMObjectPath containing the object path.
- Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
CIMProperty CIMObject::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 CIMObject. UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
CIMConstProperty CIMObject::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 CIMObject. UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
Uint32 CIMObject::getPropertyCount ( ) const Gets the number of properties in the object.
- Returns:
- An integer count of the properties in the CIMObject.
- Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
CIMQualifier CIMObject::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 CIMObject. UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
CIMConstQualifier CIMObject::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 CIMObject. UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
Uint32 CIMObject::getQualifierCount ( ) const Gets the number of qualifiers in the object.
- Returns:
- An integer count of the qualifiers in the CIMObject.
- Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
Boolean CIMObject::identical ( const CIMConstObject & x ) const Compares the CIMObject with a specified CIMConstObject.
- Parameters:
x The CIMConstObject to be compared.
- Returns:
- True if this object is identical to the one specified, false otherwise.
- Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
Boolean CIMObject::isClass ( ) const
Boolean CIMObject::isInstance ( ) const Indicates whether the object represents a CIMInstance.
- Returns:
- True if the object represents a CIMInstance; false otherwise.
Boolean CIMObject::isUninitialized ( ) const Determines whether the object has been initialized.
- Returns:
- True if the object has not been initialized, false otherwise.
void CIMObject::removeProperty ( Uint32 index ) Removes a property from the object.
- Parameters:
index The index of the property to remove.
- Exceptions:
IndexOutOfBoundsException If the index is outside the range of properties available for the CIMObject. UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
void CIMObject::removeQualifier ( Uint32 index ) Removes a qualifier from the object.
- Parameters:
index The index of the qualifier to remove.

IndexOutOfBoundsException If the index is outside the range of qualifiers available for the CIMObject. UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
void CIMObject::setPath ( const CIMObjectPath & path ) Sets the object path for the object.
- Parameters:
path A CIMObjectPath containing the object path.
- Exceptions:
UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.
String CIMObject::toString ( ) const Generates a human-readable String representing the value of the CIMObject. The String may be in MOF format, but the format is not guaranteed and may change without notice.
