Documentation

The CIMFlavor class implements the concept of the CIM qualifier flavor that encapsulates the propagation and override rules for qualifiers. The propagation rules define whether a qualifier may be propagated from classes to derived classes, or from classes to instances. The override rules define whether or not derived classes may override a qualifier value or whether it must be fixed for an entire class hierarchy.

The possible values are: OVERRIDABLE, TOSUBCLASS, TOINSTANCE, TRANSLATABLE, DISABLEOVERRIDE, ENABLEOVERRID, RESTRICTED and DEFAULTS. The flavor is a set of zero or more of these possible values.

Public Fields

static const CIMFlavor	NONE Indicates that the qualifier has no flavors.
static const CIMFlavor	OVERRIDABLE Indicates that the qualifier may be overridden
static const CIMFlavor	ENABLEOVERRIDE Indicates that the override feature is enable for the qualifier.
static const CIMFlavor	DISABLEOVERRIDE Indicates that the qualifier may not be overridden
static const CIMFlavor	TOSUBCLASS Indicates that the qualifier is propagated to the qualifier in the subclass with the same name
static const CIMFlavor	RESTRICTED Indicates that the qualifier is not propagated to the qualifier in the subclass with the same name; it applies only to the class in which it is declared
static const CIMFlavor	TOINSTANCE Indicates that the qualifier is propagated to the qualifier in the instance with the same name
static const CIMFlavor	TRANSLATABLE Indicates that the qualifier is translatable (for internationalization)
static const CIMFlavor	DEFAULTS Indicates the default flavor settings.
static const CIMFlavor	TOSUBELEMENTS Indicates both toSubclass and toInstance (TOSUBCLASS | TOINSTANCE)

Public Methods

	CIMFlavor () Constructs a CIMFlavor object with no flavor values set (default constructor).
	CIMFlavor (const CIMFlavor & flavor) Constructs a CIMFlavor object from an existing CIMFlavor object (copy constructor).
CIMFlavor&	operator= (const CIMFlavor & flavor) Assigns the value of one CIMFlavor object to another (assignment operator).
void	addFlavor (const CIMFlavor & flavor) Adds the set of flavor values of the specified CIMFlavor object to this CIMFlavor object.
void	removeFlavor (const CIMFlavor & flavor) Removes the specified set of flavor values from the CIMFlavor object.
Boolean	hasFlavor (const CIMFlavor & flavor) const Determines if every value in the specified CIMFlavor object is included in this CIMFlavor object.
Boolean	equal (const CIMFlavor & flavor) const Compares two CIMFlavor objects and determines whether or not they are equal.
CIMFlavor	operator+ (const CIMFlavor & flavor) const Combines two CIMFlavor objects.
String	toString () const Returns a String representation of the CIMFlavor object.

CIMFlavor()

Constructs a CIMFlavor object with no flavor values set (default constructor). The parameters and values are null.

CIMFlavor(const CIMFlavor & flavor)

Constructs a CIMFlavor object from an existing CIMFlavor object (copy constructor).

Parameters:

flavor - Specifies the name of the CIMFlavor instance of the CIMFlavor object.

CIMFlavor& operator= (const CIMFlavor & flavor)

Assigns the value of one CIMFlavor object to another (assignment operator).

Parameters:

flavor - Specifies the name of the CIMFlavor instance of the CIMFlavor object.

Returns:

The new instance of the CIMFlavor object.

void addFlavor(const CIMFlavor & flavor)

Adds the set of flavor values of the specified CIMFlavor object to this CIMFlavor object.

Parameters:

flavor - Specifies the name of the CIMFlavor object that contains the flavor values to add to the CIMFlavor object.

void removeFlavor(const CIMFlavor & flavor)

Removes the specified set of flavor values from the CIMFlavor object.

Parameters:

flavor - Specifies the name of the CIMFlavor object that contains the flavor values to remove from the CIMFlavor object.

Boolean hasFlavor(const CIMFlavor & flavor) const

Determines if every value in the specified CIMFlavor object is included in this CIMFlavor object.

Parameters:

flavor - Specifies the name of the CIMFlavor instance whose values you want to compare to the CIMFlavor object.

Returns:

True if every value in the specified instance of the CIMFlavor object is included in the CIMFlavor object. Otherwise, a value of false is returned.

Boolean equal(const CIMFlavor & flavor) const

Compares two CIMFlavor objects and determines whether or not they are equal.

Parameters:

flavor - Specifies the name of the CIMFlavor instance that you want to compare to the CIMFlavor object.

Returns:

True if the two CIMFlavor objects are equal. Otherwise, a value of false is returned.

CIMFlavor operator+ (const CIMFlavor & flavor) const

Combines two CIMFlavor objects. The parameters and values of the specified CIMFlavor instance are included (added) to the CIMFlavor object.

Parameters:

flavor - Specifies the name of the CIMFlavor instance to add to the CIMFlavor object.

Returns:

A new CIMFlavor object that represents the combination of this flavor with the specified flavor.

String toString() const

Returns a String representation of the CIMFlavor object. Use this method to aide in debugging problems. Depending on the implementation, the string format may vary. The returned value cannot be null but may be empty.

static const CIMFlavor NONE

Indicates that the qualifier has no flavors. Thus, the qualifier does not have any parameters nor values.

static const CIMFlavor OVERRIDABLE

Indicates that the qualifier may be overridden

static const CIMFlavor ENABLEOVERRIDE

Indicates that the override feature is enable for the qualifier. Thus, the qualifier can be overridden.

static const CIMFlavor DISABLEOVERRIDE

Indicates that the qualifier may not be overridden

static const CIMFlavor TOSUBCLASS

Indicates that the qualifier is propagated to the qualifier in the subclass with the same name

static const CIMFlavor RESTRICTED

Indicates that the qualifier is not propagated to the qualifier in the subclass with the same name; it applies only to the class in which it is declared

static const CIMFlavor TOINSTANCE

Indicates that the qualifier is propagated to the qualifier in the instance with the same name

static const CIMFlavor TRANSLATABLE

Indicates that the qualifier is translatable (for internationalization)

static const CIMFlavor DEFAULTS

Indicates the default flavor settings. (OVERRIDABLE | TOSUBCLASS).

static const CIMFlavor TOSUBELEMENTS

Indicates both toSubclass and toInstance (TOSUBCLASS | TOINSTANCE)

This class has no child classes.
