  • Method Details

    • getCimModelListForClass

      public static List<NamedElement> getCimModelListForClass(Class<?> cls)
      Get all CIM classes needed to resolve a given Java class
      Parameters:
      cls - Exported java class for which the corresponding CIM definitions are required
      Returns:
      - list containing all elements necessary to resolve the given class in CIM.

    • getModelForClass

      public static NamedElement getModelForClass(Class<?> javaClass, Repository repository)
      Get the CIM Element definition corresponding to an Exported java class using the provided repository. If the CIM element definition is already in the repository, it is returned, else the given class (and its superclasses) and its interfaces (and those in the superclasses) are checked and any definitions not already in the repository are entered in the repository.
      Parameters:
      javaClass - - Class<? extends Object> java class. The class must be annotated with an Export annotation
      repository - - Cim Repository to use as a cache.
      Returns:
      NamedElement corresponding to the Java Class. null returned in case of errors

    • help

      public static void help(String javaCommand)
      Provide a help message on standard output
      Parameters:
      javaCommand - - java command for commandline

    • main

      public static void main(String[] args)
      Program to generate the MOF representation for one or more java classes. Prints out the MOF representation of the classes (if any) on the standard output. The classes must be annotated with @Export annotations. Usage is
      $ java -jar Java2Cim.jar [-h] javaClassName ...
      where the -h option provides help (this message) and javaClassName is the name of a class loadable by the system class loader.

      The program auto-generates the following qualifiers in the MOF description by java code introspection. These qualifiers should NOT be added in the annotation

      Abstract
      Generated for abstract java classes
      Interface
      Generated for interface classes
      Static
      Generated for a static method or property type
      Implements
      Generated for interfaces defined in the java class
      Read
      Generated for properties which have a "getter" method in the java code
      Write
      Generated for properties which have a "setter" method in the java code
      MappingStrings
      Generated for Enumerations, Structures, and Classes to allow bindings between CIM and Java
      Version
      Version numbers on classes are generated using the classVersion annotation parameter

      The following qualifiers should be provided in the annotations for correct MOF generation

      Association
      Annotate the MOF class with the Association qualifier
      Author
      provide the name of the author for the MOF class
      Deprecated
      Label a MOF class, method, or property as @deprecated. Should match @deprecated annotation in code
      PackagePath
      Use the value as the package name for the MOF class
      Override
      annotate the property or method as overriding a superclass property or method. Should match @Override in code

      In addition, the following annotation parameters can be used to generate the proper MOF constructs

      schema="ABC"
      identify the schema within which this class resides
      version="m.n.u"
      identify the version of the class. Translated to the VERSION qualifier in MOF
      nameSpace="/namespacePath"
      CIM namespacepath within which this class resides
      name="cimName"
      use cimName as the name of the cim element in MOF
      Parameters:
      args - - list of class names (accessible to the class loader) for which MOF is needed.
