An event handler is an instance of a CIM_IndicationHandler class. You set the properties in an instance of the CIM_IndicationHandler class to uniquely name the handler and to identify the UID of its owner. The CIM Event MOF defines a CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML class for describing the destination for indications to be delivered to client applications that use the HTTP protocol. The Solaris Event MOF extends the CIM_IndicationHandler class by creating the Solaris_JAVAXRMIDelivery class. This subclass handles delivery of indications of CIM events to client applications that use the RMI protocol. RMI clients must instantiate the Solaris_JAVAXRMIDelivery class to set up an RMI delivery location.
