Detailed Description

This is the base class implemented by all providers that are loaded by the C++ provider interface.

It is recommended that all type and data declarations in the provider be declared inside an anonymous namespace to prevent possible identifier collisions between providers or the openwbem libraries.

If your provider spawns a separate thread that needs access to a provider environment (for example, to get a CIMOM handle or logger), see the comment for the initialize() function.

DO NOT put inline functions in this class, they will be duplicated in every provider and cause code bloat.

CppInstanceProviderIFC * OW_NAMESPACE::CppProviderBaseIFC::getInstanceProvider (   )  [virtual]

We do the following because gcc seems to have a problem with dynamic_cast. If often fails, especially when compiling with optimizations. It will return a (supposedly) valid pointer, when it should return NULL. Reimplemented in OW_NAMESPACE::CppInstanceProviderIFC. Definition at line 73 of file OW_CppProviderBaseIFC.cpp.

void OW_NAMESPACE::CppProviderBaseIFC::initialize (  const ProviderEnvironmentIFCRef &  env  )  [virtual]

Called by the CIMOM when the provider is initialized. Parameters: env  Gives the provider access to things such as a CIMOM handle, logger, etc. This provider environment carries its own OperationContext and hence things like the CIMOM handle remain valid for the lifetime of *env. Thus the provider can store a copy of env for later use, e.g., by a separate thread spawned by the provider. Exceptions: CIMException  Reimplemented in OW_NAMESPACE::CppIndicationExportXMLHTTPProvider, OW_NAMESPACE::OpenWBEM_ConfigSettingDataInstProv, OW_NAMESPACE::OpenWBEM_ObjectManagerInstProv, and OW_NAMESPACE::NameSpaceProvider.

Definition at line 145 of file OW_CppProviderBaseIFC.cpp. References m_persist.

void OW_NAMESPACE::CppProviderBaseIFC::shuttingDown (  const ProviderEnvironmentIFCRef &  env  )  [virtual]

Called by the CIMOM just before it starts shutting down services. Providers should override this to do any portion of their shutdown process that requires access to the CIMOM. Reimplemented in OW_NAMESPACE::OpenWBEM_ObjectManagerInstProv. Definition at line 151 of file OW_CppProviderBaseIFC.cpp.
