Handling Exceptions

Each CIMClient method throws a CIMException, or error condition. The CIM Object Manager uses Java exception handling and creates a hierarchy of WBEM-specific exceptions. The CIMException class is the base class for CIM exceptions. All other CIM exception classes extend from the CIMException class.

Each class of CIM exceptions defines a particular type of error condition that the API code handles. CIMException has methods to retrieve error codes and parameters relating to the exception. Refer to file:/usr/sadm/lib/wbem/doc/index.html for more information on the CIMException class.
