Re: CMPI association provider

My bad.  Sorry to both of you karl and Kirk for misguiding/missing info.

Kirk,
You are right that we need at least enumerate for a class. But if we look at
closely other Assocation functions they are nothing but enumerations.


   - associatorNames() – enumerate ObjectPaths of Instances associated with
   an Instance
   -

   associators() – enumerate Instances associated with an Instance
   -

   referenceNames() – enumerate the ObjectPaths of Association Instances
   that refer to an Instance
   -

   references() – enumerate the Association Instances that refer to an
   Instance

Karl,

I posted wrong link.  Actually I got this from Opengroup.

[page 55]

Let me know what you guys think....

thanks much!
Kamal
