Example -- Implementing an Instance Provider

The code segment in Example 7-1, creates a Solaris instance provider class that routes requests for instance data from the CIM Object Manager to one or more specialized providers. These specialized providers service requests for dynamic data for a particular type of Solaris object. For example, the Solaris_Package provider services requests for instances of the Solaris_Package class.

An instance provider must implement all methods in the InstanceProvider interface. The code segment in Example 7-1 shows only two methods:


Example 7-1 Implementing an Instance Provider

public class Solaris implements InstanceProvider
{
   /**
    * Top-level provider class routes requests from the CIM
    * Object Manager to the appropriate provider.
    */
 
    public void initialize(CIMONHandle, ch) 
    throws CIMException {
    }
 
    public void cleanup() 
    throws CIMException {
    }
 
    /* This class returns a vector of enumerated instances of the 
    specified object in the specified class. If the object is a 
    Solaris package, it calls the Solaris_Package provider to return 
    a list of the Solaris packages on the system. If the object is a 
    Solaris patch, it calls the Solaris_Patch provider to return a 
    list of the Solaris patches on the system. */
 
    public Vector enumInstances(CIMObjectPath op, CIMClient.DEEP, CIMClass cc)
    throws CIMException {
        if (op.getObjectName().equalsIgnoreCase("solaris_package")) {
            Solaris_Package sp = new Solaris_Package();
            return sp.enumerateInstances(op);
        }
        if (op.getObjectName().equalsIgnoreCase("solaris_patch")) {
            Solaris_Patch sp = new Solaris_Patch();
            return sp.enumerateInstances(op);
        }
       return new Vector();
    }
 
 
    /* This class returns an instance of the specified object in the 
    specified class. If the object is a Solaris package, it
    calls the Solaris_Package provider to return the data for the
    specified Solaris package. If the object is a Solaris patch, it 
    calls the Solaris_Patch provider to return the data for the 
    specified Solaris patch. */
 
    public CIMInstance getInstance(CIMObjectPath op, CIMClass cc) 
    throws CIMException {
        if (op.getObjectName().equalsIgnoreCase("solaris_package")) {
            Solaris_Package sp = new Solaris_Package();     
            return sp.getInstance(op,cc);
        }
        if (op.getObjectName().equalsIgnoreCase("solaris_patch")) {
            Solaris_Patch sp = new Solaris_Patch();         
            return sp.getInstance(op,cc);
        } 
}
 


The specialized Solaris instance providers use the API to get and set instances of objects. These providers also declare native methods that call C functions to get Solaris-specific values, such as host name, serial number, release, machine, architecture, and manufacturer.

The code segment in Example 7-2 shows the solaris_package class, which is called in Example 7-1. This code segment implements the getInstance method. This method creates a new instance of the specified class and then fills it with properties returned from native C functions, such as GetPkgArchitecture().


Example 7-2 Solaris Package Provider

public class Solaris_Package 
{
    public CIMInstance getInstance(CIMObjectPath op, CIMClass cc) {
        String pkgName = "";
 
        for (Enumeration e = op.getKeys().elements(); e.hasMoreElements();) {
            CIMProperty cp = (CIMProperty)e.nextElement();
            if (cp.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("name")) {
                pkgName = (String) ((CIMValue)(cp.getValue())).getValue();
            }
        }
 
 
        CIMInstance ci = cc.newInstance();
        ci.setProperty("Name", new CIMValue(pkgName));
        ci.setProperty("TargetOperatingSystem", 
                          new CIMValue(new UnsignedInt16(29)));
 
        ci.setProperty("Status", 
                     new CIMValue(GetPkgStatus(pkgName)));
  			 ci.setProperty("Architecture", 
                          new CIMValue(GetPkgArchitecture(pkgName)));
        ci.setProperty("Description", new CIMValue(GetPkgDescription(pkgName)));
        ci.setProperty("Caption", new CIMValue(GetPkgDescription(pkgName)));
        ci.setProperty("Manufacturer", new CIMValue(GetPkgVendor(pkgName)));
        ci.setProperty("Category", new CIMValue(GetPkgCategory(pkgName)));
        ci.setProperty("Basedir", new CIMValue(GetPkgBasedir(pkgName)));
       return ci;
    }
 
    native String GetPkgDescription(String pkgName);
    native String GetPkgArchitecture(String pkgName);
    native String GetPkgVersion(String pkgName);
    native String GetPkgVendor(String pkgName);
    native String GetPkgBasedir(String pkgName);
    native String GetPkgCategory(String pkgName);
    native String GetPkgStatus(String pkgName);
 
 
   static {
       System.loadLibrary("NativeUnix");
   
    }
 
}
