Getting and Setting CIM Qualifiers

A qualifier flavor is a flag that governs the use of a qualifier. Flavors describe rules that specify whether a qualifier can be propagated to derived classes and instances. Rules also determine whether a derived class or instance can override the qualifier's original value.

Example 4–19 Setting CIM Qualifiers

This example sets a list of CIM qualifiers for a new class to the qualifiers in its superclass.

{

 try {
     cimSuperClass = cimClient.getClass(new CIMObjectPath(scName));
     Vector v = new Vector();
     for (Enumeration e = cimSuperClass.getQualifiers().elements();
                          e.hasMoreElements();) { 
         CIMQualifier qual = (CIMQualifier)
                             ((CIMQualifier)e.nextElement()).clone();
         v.addElement(qual);
     }
     cimClass.setQualifiers(v); 
 } catch (CIMException exc) {
      return;
 }
}
