Example — Implementing a Property Provider

The code segment in Example 5–2 creates a property provider (fruit_prop_provider) class that is registered in Example 5–2. The fruit_prop_provider implements the PropertyProvider interface.

This sample property provider illustrates the getPropertyValue method, which returns a property value for the specified class, parent class, and property name. A CIM property is defined by its name and origin class. Two or more properties can have the same name, but the origin class uniquely identifies the property.

Example 5–2 Implementing a Property Provider

...

public class SimplePropertyProvider implements PropertyProvider{
    public void initialize(CIMOMHandle cimom) 
    throws CIMException {
    }

    public void cleanup() 
    throws CIMException {
    }
    
    public CIMValue getPropertyValue(CIMObjectpath op, string originclass, 
	           string PropertyName){
		    if (PropertyName.equals("A")
		        return new CIMValue("ValueA")
  		  else
			      return new CIMValue("ValueB");
    }
    ...
