Static Provider Registration

============================

SYNOPSIS:

=========

This document explains how to register static providers using the

EmbeddedServer class. An example of this is included under:

pegasus/vxworks/cimserver/MyEmbeddedServer.cpp

PREPARING THE STATIC PROVIDER MODULE

====================================

The only requirement of the provider is that it include the

"PegasusCreateProvider" entry point. This is standard for Pegasus C++

providers and CIMPLE providers include this entry point when module.cpp

is compiled with the following option:

-DCIMPLE_PEGASUS_MODULE

Caution: Do not rename this entry point as was required in a previous version

of the static provider mechanism.

There may be at most one PegasusCreateProvider entry point in the entire

server.

STATICALLY REGISTERING THE PROVIDER

===================================

To statically register the provider, first register the PegasusCreateProvider

entry point by overriding EmbeddedServer::initialize() and adding the following

code fragment (see pegasus/vxworks/cimserver/MyEmbeddedServer.cpp for an

example).

if (!registerPegasusCreateProviderEntryPoint(PegasusCreateProvider))

{

/* Error */

}

Next, register each provider with the following fragment (replacing CLASSNAME

with the name of that provider's class).

if (!registerProvider(

nameSpaces,

CLASSNAME,

MyEmbeddedServer::PEGASUS_PROVIDER_INTERFACE,

MyEmbeddedServer::INSTANCE_PROVIDER_TYPE))

{

/* Error */

}
