Constructor Detail

CIMValue

public CIMValue(java.lang.Object pValue)
Deprecated. this constructor may lead to confusion when the data type of the specified argument can not be determined, such as the case of null arguments.

Construct an object of a CIMValue. Other constructors are preferred than this one, because it may not determine the appropriate value type of the object passed as argument.

Parameters:
pValue - The value

CIMValue

public CIMValue(java.lang.Object pValue,
                CIMDataType pDataType)
Construct an object of a cim value, using the specified data type.

Parameters:
pValue - the value object contained by this CIMValue.
pDataType - the data type for this CIMValue.
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

CIMValue

public CIMValue(java.util.Vector pValue,
                CIMDataType pDataType)
Construct an object of cim value for a given vector, and the specified data type.

Parameters:
pValue - A vector of objects
pDataType - An array data type
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the elements from the vector does not match the specified data type.

CIMValue

protected CIMValue()
Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

contains

public boolean contains(java.lang.Object pValue)
Determines if the object argument passed to the method is contained as part of the vector or if the object argument is equivalent to the current value.

Parameters:
pValue - The value
Returns:
true if pValue is contained in this cim value, false otherwise

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()
Determine no object has been assigned to the CIMValue. This is if the value == null && the value type != null.

Returns:
true if value is equal to null and data type is not null.

isNull

public boolean isNull()
Determines if the current value is null.

Returns:
true if the current value is equal to null, otherwise returns false.

isNullValue

public boolean isNullValue()
Determines if the current value is null.

Returns:
true if the current value is equal to null, otherwise returns false.

getSize

public int getSize()
Returns the size of the current value. If the value is a vector type, the size of the vector. If the value is equals to null, and a data type is provided returns the size of the data type, otherwise returns a SIZE_SINGLE value.

Returns:
The size

size

public int size()
Deprecated. use getSize instead of size()

Return the size of the current value. If the value is a vector type, returns the size of the vector. If the value is equals to null, and a data type is provided returns the size of the data type, otherwise returns a SIZE_SINGLE value.

Returns:
The size

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

getType

public CIMDataType getType()
Return the data type for this object.

Returns:
The type

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue()
Returns the value assigned to this object.

Returns:
The value

isArrayValue

public boolean isArrayValue()
Determines if the current value is an array type.

Returns:
true if the value is an array, false otherwise

toMOF

public java.lang.String toMOF()
Returns the MOF representation of this element.

Returns:
The MOF representation

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
