Constructor Detail

CIMArgument

public CIMArgument(java.lang.String pName,

                   E pValue)
            throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Constructs a CIMArgument to be used for method invocations. A CIMArgument corresponds to a CIMParameter. For each CIMParameter being populated during a method invocation a CIMArgument object must be created.

Parameters:

pName - - Name of the CIM argument.

pType - - CIMDataType of the argument.

pValue - - Value of the argument.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - - If the value does not match the type.

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object pObj)

Compares this object against the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a CIMValuedObject that represents the same name, type and value as this object.

Overrides:

equals in class CIMValuedElement<E>

Parameters:

pObj - - The object to compare with.

Returns:

true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a String representation of the CIMElement. This method is intended to be used only for debugging purposes, and the format of the returned string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not be null.

Overrides:

toString in class CIMValuedElement<E>

Returns:

String representation of this CIM element.
