mofcomp generates all classes into a single package

Anonymous — Tue, 20 May 2003 23:29:25 -0000

This is a feature request, not a bug...

It would be great if the mofcompiler could be a bit more
flexible in generating beans/classes with regards to
packages/imports/exceptions. Currently there appears
to be no way to generate the entire set of classes from
an entire CIM Schema release into anything other than
one monolithic package. It would be nice if you could
instruct the mofcompiler to segregate the various
classes into appropriate sub-packages by way of an
input mapping file, or some other logical filename-based
pattern matching.

For example, one of the CIM schema 2.7 mof files is:
Device27_Sensors.mof. With a file pattern matching
approach (possible by a regexp passed in as an arg to
mofcomp), one could specify that package for classes
defined in this file should be in a package named
something like: "org.dmtf.cim27.device.sensors".
mofcomp could keep track of the package to class
mappings and generate the appropriate import
statements as well.

Add logging to CIMOM

Steve Hand — Mon, 13 Jan 2003 19:35:54 -0000

Logging is different than tracing. Tracing, which is
currently called logging in 0.95a, is for the
consumption of the developer. But logging would be for
the consumption of the end-user or the management
applications.

We should consider that the log itself encapsulates
indications so that indications are logged but with
additional attributes.

Subscriptions by AlertIndication

Steve Hand — Mon, 23 Dec 2002 16:05:40 -0000

It is allowed to create an indication subscription
using a filter "from CIM_InstIndication' and thereby
get creation, modification, and delete indications with
one indication subscription. Modify CIMOM so that one
can subscribe using CIM_AlertIndication and thereby get
all alert indications.

Being able to subscribe in the manner described above
is required for SMIS v1.0. (example: p.54 SMIS version
1213).

CIMOM provide extra subsc. attributes

Steve Hand — Mon, 23 Dec 2002 16:02:59 -0000

CIM 2.7 added extra attributes to
CIM_IndicationSubscription that obviously were meant to
be filled in by the CIMOM. Modify CIMOM to fill these
values in.

Add Transaction Support

The DMTF Interop WG is going to look at enahcning the protocol to support transactions.

Use GSS API for Security Interface

Jim Davis — Thu, 22 Aug 2002 14:47:01 -0000

Since the Java GSS API is in Java 1.4, it should be used for security.

Log file to dump exceptions

Anonymous — Mon, 19 Aug 2002 18:32:42 -0000

Can something like the following be applied
application-wide for both CIMOM & CIMWorkshop :-

1. Create separate log files for the CIMOM and the
CIMWorkshop to contain exceptions.

2. Whenever an exception happens ( or is thrown )
anywhere in either of these processes, dump it
( eg. a printStackTrace() ) into the log file.

This way, while testing/running the applications, we
can quickly locate the problem, pin-point the source
code with the problem and report it as a tracker.

Changes for CIM_Error

Steve Hand — Mon, 19 Aug 2002 18:32:33 -0000

Add the changes to support CIM_Error to fix error
reporting

http://www.dmtf.org/apps/org/workgroup/interop/members/3122/download.php/3411/InterOp96CIM_Error.html

We of course will need to wait for the work to be done
in the interop group.

Add locking support

Jim Davis — Fri, 16 Aug 2002 19:02:17 -0000

We need to add locking support to the Client API and the CIM Object Manager. We need to work this
through the DMTF Interop WG and the SNIA Management Protocol TWG.
