Example — Retrieving a Class Definition

The code shown in Example 4–18, uses the following methods to retrieve a class definition:

• CIMNameSpace – to create a new namespace

• CIMClient – to create a new client connection to the CIM Object Manager

• CIMObjectPath – to create an object path, an object to contain the name of the class to retrieve

• getClass – to retrieve the class from the CIM Object Manager
