23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in

ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading

a provider library.

24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod

interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as

type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give

information about param name, type and value. This should be changed

to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the

parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod

call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while

travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of

CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed

later).

Also added are two test programs:

src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of

CIMParamValue class.

src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to

InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current

implementation assumes that provider had returned true value

and outParameters (which are now hard coded in

CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)

which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.

25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of

authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager

and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication

module has been modified to implement the local authenticator

interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests

and to verify the authentication.

A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.

This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not

yet linked into the build.

26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export

Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses

before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send

request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.

New changes collects the Message* as return value from the

appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on

_outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.

27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to

fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the

providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name

construction (appending .sl or .so) from

CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to

ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns

provider file path name.

28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication

Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class

definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap

structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.

Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master

agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.

Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to

implement specific trap delivery mechanism.

29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to

be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating

property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the

plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.

30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer

to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given

string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface.

Changed the config file defaults for tracing.

31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq

NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files

were added: platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,

library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak,

program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered

all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now

only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and

library.mak were changed to include the NSK files.

File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.

32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow

commas (,) in the string values of key properties.

33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6

34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in

pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for

the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced

leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required

in make files.

35. (K Schopmeyer 2 Nov 2001)Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25

because getting an error in 26

35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys

whose types are references. These reference values must be

treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE

tag structure.

Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.

For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string

type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.

I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and

CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the

XML in the proper format. However, making that change required

that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key

of String type and a key of reference type.

I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to

allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of

reference type. The "official" form uses the same encoding for

key values of String type and of reference type, and so it

would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up

the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the

key values. This is clearly too inefficient for internal

transformations between CIMReferences and String values.

The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value

for a key of reference type (before the opening '"'). This allows

the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or

reference type.

In this example:

MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"

Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets

the usual encoding. Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'

is inserted before its encoded value. Note that this algorithm is

recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,

which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.

The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry. A new

KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a

CIMReference that are of reference type. This KeyBinding type must

be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave

correctly.

The files that have been modified to make this change are

CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.

A result of this change is that instances names in the instance

repository will include this extra 'R' character. Thus, you will

need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest

CIMOM version.

Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance

names (such as might appear in MOF for static association

instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and

therefore unacceptable. It is likely that these points will need

to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class

definition to determine the key property types.

36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components

in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner

init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with

cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.

37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference

(instanceName).

38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 Implemented encoding/decoding of

GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.

Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all

relevant intrinsic methods.

39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 Added Associator calls to CIMBase

ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp

40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 Common module: added the following

files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,

TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,

IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of

SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files

(TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include

nsk platform links.

41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 Changed the behavior of the CIMValue

toString() method for CIMValues of String type. The old behavior

returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters

replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents. For example, a CIMValue of a"b

would be returned as a"b. The new behavior just returns the

String value directly with no translation. (Note that

CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)

This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the

repository. CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by

CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to

CIMValue.toString(). GetInstance searches for the instance name

without UTF-8 encoding of special characters. For GetInstance to

be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name

in that same form, without special character encoding.

42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 Added a toXml(void) method to

the CIMValue class. Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),

often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().

Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.

43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 Added a function

localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class

to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the

CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>.

Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
