Detailed Description

The Source interface provides methods to manage the sources of privilege metadata information.

The interface definition language infrastructure provides tools to generate various kinds of metadata in JSON format from the interface definition files and additional properties files. One of the generated files contains privilege information. The generated file can be registered as a source of metadata.

The privilege file contains all the data present in the interface definition files. Each privilege file contains data about one component element. When a privilege file is added as a source, each source contributes only one component element's metadata.

Privilege metadata can also be discovered from a remote server that supports the privilege metadata interfaces (see vmware.vapi.metadata.privilege ). Since multiple components can be registered with a single metadata server, when a remote server is registered as a source, that source can contribute more than one component.

Member Function Documentation

void vmware::vapi::metadata::privilege::Source::Create	(	string	sourceId,
		vmware.vapi.metadata.privilege.SourceTypes.CreateSpec	spec
	)

Creates a new metadata source.

Once the server validates the registration information of the metadata source, the privilege metadata is retrieved from the source. This populates elements in all the interfaces defined in vmware.vapi.metadata.privilege namespace.

Exceptions:

vmware.vapi.std.errors.AlreadyExists	if the metadata source identifier is already registered with the infrastructure.
vmware.vapi.std.errors.InvalidArgument	if the type of the source specified in null is invalid.
vmware.vapi.std.errors.InvalidArgument	if the file specified in null is not a valid JSON file or if the format of the privilege metadata in the JSON file is invalid.
vmware.vapi.std.errors.InvalidArgument	if the URI specified in null is unreachable or if there is a transport protocol or message protocol mismatch between the client and the server or if the remote server do not have interfaces present in vmware.vapi.metadata.privilege namespace.
vmware.vapi.std.errors.NotFound	if the file specified in null does not exist.

Parameters:

sourceId	metadata source identifier. The parameter must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vapi.metadata.privilege.source .
spec	create specification.
