51 kumpf 1.51 /** 52 The CIMMethod class represents the DMTF standard CIM method definition. 53 A CIMMethod is generally defined in the context of a CIMClass. 54 A CIMMethod consists of:
55 karl 1.38 <ul>
56 kumpf 1.51 <li>A CIMName containing the name of the method 57 <li>A CIMType defining the method return type 58 <li>Zero or more CIMQualifier objects 59 <li>Zero or more CIMParameter objects defining the method parameters
60 karl 1.38 </ul>
61 kumpf 1.51 In addition, a CIMMethod has these internal attributes:
62 karl 1.38 <ul>
63 kumpf 1.51 <li><b>propagated</b> - An attribute defining whether this CIMMethod 64 is propagated from a superclass. Note that this is normally set 65 as part of completing the definition of objects (resolving) when 66 they are created as part of a CIM schema and is NOT automatically 67 set when creating a method object. It can only be logically set 68 in context of the schema in which the CIMMethod is defined.
69 kumpf 1.42 <li><b>classOrigin</b> - An attribute defining the class in which
70 kumpf 1.51 this CIMMethod was originally defined. This is normally set 71 within the context of the schema in which the CIMMethod is 72 defined. This attribute is available from objects retrieved 73 from the CIM Server, for example, and provides information on 74 the defintion of this method in the class hierarchy. The 75 propagated and ClassOrigin attributes can be used together to 76 determine if methods originated with this object or were 77 inherited from higher levels of the hiearchy.
78 karl 1.38 </ul>
79 kumpf 1.42
80 kumpf 1.51 <p>The CIMMethod class uses a shared representation model, such that 81 multiple CIMMethod objects may refer to the same data copy. Assignment 82 and copy operators create new references to the same data, not distinct 83 copies. An update to a CIMMethod object affects all the CIMMethod 84 objects that refer to the same data copy. The data remains valid until 85 all the CIMMethod objects that refer to it are destructed. A separate 86 copy of the data may be created using the clone method.
