This class represents a CIM qualifier as defined by the Distributed
Management Task Force (DMTF) CIM
Infrastructure Specification (DSP004). A qualifier provides additional information about classes,
associations, methods, parameters, properties, and/or references. A
CIMQualifier
must have a CIM Qualifier Type. A qualifier and its
qualifier type must have the same name and data type. CIM Qualifiers can only
be applied to elements that are allowed by the scope defined by the CIM
Qualifier Type.- See Also:

CIMQualifier
Constructs a CIM qualifier with the specified name, type, value, and flavors.- Parameters:
pName
- The name of the qualifier.pType
- The data type of the qualifier.pValue
- The value of the qualifier.pFlavor
- A list of override permissions. Flavors can be overridden from the Qualifier Type definition to either restrict the subclassing of a qualifier or to allow it. For the list of CIM Flavors see theCIMFlavor
class.- See Also:

Method Details
-
equals
Compares thisCIMQualifier
against the specifiedCIMQualifier
. The result istrue
if and only if the argument is notnull
and is aCIMQualifier
that represents the same name, type and value as thisCIMQualifier
.- Overrides:
equals
in classCIMValuedElement<E>
- Parameters:
pObj
- The object to compare.- Returns:
true
if the input qualifier is equal, otherwisefalse
.
-
getFlavor
public int getFlavor()Returns the CIM flavors for this CIM qualifier.- Returns:
- A
BitSet
of CIM flavors in this CIM qualifier.
-
isPropagated
public boolean isPropagated()Determines if this qualifier is propagated. If the qualifier was inherited, this value will betrue
. If the qualifier was applied to the element directly, this value will befalse
.- Returns:
true
if this property is propagated;false
otherwise.
-
toString
Returns aString
representation of theCIMQualifier
. 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 benull
.- Overrides:
toString
in classCIMValuedElement<E>
- Returns:
- A string representation of this qualifier.
