public abstract class CIMHelper
extends Object

Class CIMHelper provides convenience methods that are missing from the official JSR48 API

Method Summary

static CIMInstance	CIMInstanceWithSynchonizedNumericKeyDataTypes(CIMObjectPath pObjectPath, CIMProperty<?>[] pProps) CIMInstanceWithSynchonizedNumericKeyDataTypes returns a CIMInstance where the data types of all numeric keys in the CIMObjectPath match those of the corresponding keys within the CIMProperty[].
static URI	createCimomUri(CIMObjectPath pPath) Creates a URI of a CIMOM from a given CIM object path, adding default port if port not parsable.
static URI	createCimomUri(URI pUri) Creates a URI of a CIMOM from a given URI, adding default port if port not specified.
static CIMDataType	ScalarDataType(int pType) Returns the CIMDataType of a scalar of the specified data type.
static CIMDataType	UnboundedArrayDataType(int pType) Returns the CIMDataType of an unbounded array of the specified data type.

Method Detail

createCimomUri

public static URI createCimomUri(CIMObjectPath pPath)
                          throws URISyntaxException

Creates a URI of a CIMOM from a given CIM object path, adding default port if port not parsable.

Parameters:

pPath - The CIM object path.

Returns:

The URI.

Throws:

URISyntaxException

createCimomUri

public static URI createCimomUri(URI pUri)
                          throws URISyntaxException

Creates a URI of a CIMOM from a given URI, adding default port if port not specified.

Parameters:

pUri - The URI.

Returns:

The URI.

Throws:

URISyntaxException

ScalarDataType

public static CIMDataType ScalarDataType(int pType)

Returns the CIMDataType of a scalar of the specified data type. This should be used in lieu of "new CIMDataType(pType)" which is not supported by the JSR48 standard.

Parameters:

pType - Data type.

Returns:

CIMDataType corresponding to data type.

UnboundedArrayDataType

public static CIMDataType UnboundedArrayDataType(int pType)

Returns the CIMDataType of an unbounded array of the specified data type. This should be used in lieu of "new CIMDataType(pType,0)" which is not supported by the JSR48 standard.

Parameters:

pType - Data type.

Returns:

CIMDataType corresponding to data type.

CIMInstanceWithSynchonizedNumericKeyDataTypes

public static CIMInstance CIMInstanceWithSynchonizedNumericKeyDataTypes(CIMObjectPath pObjectPath,
                                                                        CIMProperty<?>[] pProps)

CIMInstanceWithSynchonizedNumericKeyDataTypes returns a CIMInstance where the data types of all numeric keys in the CIMObjectPath match those of the corresponding keys within the CIMProperty[]. The need for this conversion mechanism arises from a deficiency in the CIM-XML specs, where the TYPE (sint8, uint8, etc.) is required for PROPERTY but not for KEYVALUE. If a CIMOM sends a KEYVALUE of VALUETYPE="numeric" without TYPE, the Java CIM Client assumes a type of sint64, uint64 or real64. This can cause problems (i.e. ClassCastException) down the line if the TYPE of the corresponding PROPERTY is different.

Parameters:

pObjectPath - Instance object path.

pProps - Instance properties.

Returns:

CIMInstance with numeric key data types synchronized.
