The CIMConstQualifier class provides a const interface to a CIMQualifier object.

Documentation

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

Inheritance:

Public Methods

	CIMConstQualifier () Constructs an uninitialized CIMConstQualifier object.
	CIMConstQualifier (const CIMConstQualifier& x) Constructs a CIMConstQualifier object from the value of a specified CIMConstQualifier object, so that both objects refer to the same data copy.
	CIMConstQualifier (const CIMQualifier& x) Constructs a CIMConstQualifier object from the value of a specified CIMQualifier object, so that both objects refer to the same data copy.
	CIMConstQualifier ( const CIMName& name, const CIMValue& value, const CIMFlavor & flavor = CIMFlavor (CIMFlavor::NONE), Boolean propagated = false) Constructs a CIMConstQualifier object with the specified attributes.
	~CIMConstQualifier () Destructs the CIMQualifier object
CIMConstQualifier&	operator= (const CIMConstQualifier& x) Assigns the value of the specified CIMConstQualifier object to this object, so that both objects refer to the same data copy.
CIMConstQualifier&	operator= (const CIMQualifier& x) Assigns the value of the specified CIMQualifier object to this object, so that both objects refer to the same data copy.
const CIMName&	getName () const Gets the name of the qualifier.
CIMType	getType () const Gets the qualifier type.
Boolean	isArray () const Checks whether the qualifier is an Array qualifier.
const CIMValue&	getValue () const Gets the qualifier value.
const CIMFlavor&	getFlavor () const Gets the qualifier flavors.
Uint32	getPropagated () const Tests the propagated attribute of the qualifier.
Boolean	isUninitialized () const Determines whether the object has been initialized.
Boolean	identical (const CIMConstQualifier& x) const Compares the qualifier with another qualifier.
CIMQualifier	clone () const Makes a deep copy of the qualifier.

CIMConstQualifier()

Constructs an uninitialized CIMConstQualifier 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.

CIMConstQualifier(const CIMConstQualifier& x)

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

Parameters:

x - The CIMConstQualifier object from which to construct a new CIMConstQualifier object.

CIMConstQualifier(const CIMQualifier& x)

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

Parameters:

x - The CIMQualifier object from which to construct a new CIMConstQualifier object.

CIMConstQualifier( const CIMName& name, const CIMValue& value, const CIMFlavor & flavor = CIMFlavor (CIMFlavor::NONE), Boolean propagated = false)

Constructs a CIMConstQualifier object with the specified attributes.

Throws:

UninitializedObjectException If the qualifier name is null.

Parameters:

name - A CIMName specifying the name of the qualifier.
value - A CIMValue specifying the qualifier value, and implicitly defining the qualifier type and whether the qualifier is an Array qualifier.
flavor - A CIMFlavor indicating the qualifier flavors.
propagated - A Boolean indicating whether the qualifier is local to the context in which it appears or was propagated (without modification) from other schema.

~CIMConstQualifier()

Destructs the CIMQualifier object

CIMConstQualifier& operator=(const CIMConstQualifier& x)

Assigns the value of the specified CIMConstQualifier object to this object, so that both objects refer to the same data copy.

Parameters:

x - The CIMConstQualifier object from which to assign this CIMConstQualifier object.

Returns:

A reference to this CIMConstQualifier object.

CIMConstQualifier& operator=(const CIMQualifier& x)

Assigns the value of the specified CIMQualifier object to this object, so that both objects refer to the same data copy.

Parameters:

x - The CIMQualifier object from which to assign this CIMConstQualifier object.

Returns:

A reference to this CIMConstQualifier object.

const CIMName& getName() const

Gets the name of the qualifier.

Throws:

UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.

Returns:

A CIMName containing the name of the qualifier.

CIMType getType() const

Gets the qualifier type.

Throws:

UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.

Returns:

A CIMType containing the qualifier type.

Boolean isArray() const

Checks whether the qualifier is an Array qualifier.

Throws:

UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.

Returns:

True if the qualifier is an Array qualifier, false otherwise.

const CIMValue& getValue() const

Gets the qualifier value.

Throws:

UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.

Returns:

A CIMValue containing the qualifier value.

const CIMFlavor& getFlavor() const

Gets the qualifier flavors.

Throws:

UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.

Returns:

A CIMFlavor containing the qualifier flavor settings.

Uint32 getPropagated() const

Tests the propagated attribute of the qualifier. The propagated attribute indicates whether this qualifier was propagated from a higher-level class. Normally this attribute is set as part of defining a qualifier in the context of a schema. It is set in qualifiers retrieved from a CIM Server. (Note: Although this method is intended to return a Boolean value, changing the return type would break interface compatibility.)

Throws:

UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.

Returns:

Non-zero if qualifier is propagated, otherwise zero.

Boolean isUninitialized() const

Determines whether the object has been initialized.

Returns:

True if the object has not been initialized, false otherwise.

Boolean identical(const CIMConstQualifier& x) const

Compares the qualifier with another qualifier.

Throws:

UninitializedObjectException If either of the objects is not initialized.

Parameters:

x - The CIMConstQualifier to be compared.

Returns:

True if this qualifier is identical to the one specified, false otherwise.

CIMQualifier clone() const

Makes a deep copy of the qualifier. This creates a new copy of all the qualifier attributes.

Throws:

UninitializedObjectException If the object is not initialized.

Returns:

A CIMQualifier object with a separate copy of the CIMConstQualifier object.
