ZL> And the three add/modify/remove resource settings method handler ZL> are using the same helper function 'update_resource_settings' ZL> taking ResourceSettings as embedded instance string array. Are you specifically noting that we don't return a Job? The std_invokemethod handler specification doesn't take outgoing parameters into account, so those shouldn't be specified there. Further, we make these changes synchronously, so we don't need to return a job in any of these cases. The CMPI_stringA type is used right now because we're not testing on a EO-enabled CIMOM, which means the embedded instance comes to us as a string (or string array, depending), which we must parse ourselves. -- Dan Smith IBM Linux Technology Center Open Hypervisor Team email: danms@us.ibm.com
