public class CIMProperty extends CIMValuedElement implements Serializable
CIMProperty
class wraps the value of a CIM Property. A CIM
Property Object consists of a name, data type and value. The CIM Property
object also includes a flag to signify whether the property is a key property
(used as part of the name of the CIM element), a flag to signify whether it
was propgated from a parent class (or default value) and the class origin
information (where the property was originally defined or last overridden). A
CIM Property is defined in the CIM Infrastructure Specification. The
specification is available from the DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force)
at http://dmtf.org/.

Method Summary | |
---|---|
boolean | equals(Object pObj)
Compares this object against the specified object. |
String | getOriginClass()
Returns the class or instance in which this property was defined.
|
boolean | isKey()
Convenience method for determining if this property is a Key.
|
boolean | isPropagated()
Determines if this property is Propagated. |
String | toString()
Returns a String representation of the
CIMElement This method is intended to be used only for
debugging purposes, and the format of the returned string may vary
between implementations. |
Parameters: pName - The name of the property. pType - The CIMDataType of the property. pValue - The value of the property.
CIMProperty
to be used in instances. For a
CIMClass CIMClassProperty
should be used.
Parameters: pName -
The name of the property. pType -
The CIMDataType
of the property. pValue -
The value of the property. pKey -
true
if the property is a key; otherwise
false
. pPropagated -
true
if the value was propogated from the
class. pOriginClass -
The class in which this property was defined or overriden.
true
if and only if the argument is not null
and is a CIMValuedObject
that represents the same name,
type and value as this object.
Parameters: pObj - the object to compare with.
Returns: true
if the objects are the same;
false
otherwise.
Returns: Name of class where this property was defined.
Returns: true
if this property is a key.
Returns: true
if this property is propagated.
String
representation of the
CIMElement
This method is intended to be used only for
debugging purposes, and the format of the returned string may vary
between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not be
null
.
Returns: string representation of this element.
