public class CIMProperty<E> extends CIMValuedElement<E>
This class represents a CIM Property as defined by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) CIM Infrastructure Specification (DSP004). 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 propagated from a parent class and the class origin information (where the property was originally defined).

      public CIMProperty(String pName, CIMDataType pType, E pValue)
      Constructs a CIMProperty to be used in instances. For a CIMClass, CIMClassProperty shall be used. This can only be used for non-Key properties, non-propagated properties and when the the origin class is not needed.
      Parameters:
      pName - The name of the property.
      pType - The CIMDataType of the property.
      pValue - The value of the property.

    • CIMProperty

      public CIMProperty(String pName, CIMDataType pType, E pValue, boolean pKey, boolean pPropagated, String pOriginClass)
      Constructs a CIMProperty to be used in instances. For a CIMClass, CIMClassProperty shall 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 propagated from the class.
      pOriginClass - The class in which this property was defined or overridden.

  • Method Details

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object pObj)
      Compares this object against the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a CIMProperty that represents the same name, type and value as this object.
      Overrides:
      equals in class CIMValuedElement<E>
      Parameters:
      pObj - The object to compare with.
      Returns:
      true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.

    • getOriginClass

      public String getOriginClass()
      Returns the class in which this property was defined or overridden.
      Returns:
      Name of class where this property was defined.

    • isKey

      public boolean isKey()
      Convenience method for determining if this property is a Key.
      Returns:
      true if this property is a key.

    • isPropagated

      public boolean isPropagated()
      Determines if this property is Propagated. When this property is part of a class, this value designates that the class origin value is the same as the class name.
      Returns:
      true if this property is propagated.
