/**
    This class defines the set of methods implemented by an indication
    provider.  A provider that derives from this class must implement all
    methods.  A minimal method implementation simply throws a
    CIMNotSupportedException.
*/

{
public:
    /** Constructs a CIMIndicationProvider instance with
        null values (default constructor).
    */
    CIMIndicationProvider(void);

    /** Destructs the CIMIndicationProvider.
    */
    virtual ~CIMIndicationProvider(void);

    /** Instructs the provider to begin generating indications.  One or
        more createSubscription calls may precede the call to this method.
        (On start-up, createSubscription is called for each active
        subscription before the enableIndications method is called, so that
        the provider knows about all outstanding subscriptions before it
        begins generating indications.)

        The provider must set the namespace and class name in the object path
        of the generated indication instance (to allow the Indication Processor
        to filter generated indications based on the Filter SourceNamespace and
        Query indication class name), as in the following example:

        <pre>
         CIMObjectPath path(String::EMPTY,
                           CIMNamespaceName("root/IndicationSource"),
                           CIMName("IndicationClassName"),
                           Array<CIMKeyBinding>());
        indicationInstance.setPath(path);
        </pre>

        where "root/IndicationSource" is the namespace from which the
        indication was generated, and "IndicationClassName" is the class name
        of the generated indication.  Note that indication instance paths never
        have key bindings.

        An exception thrown by this method is considered a provider error
        and does not affect CIM Server behavior.

        @param handler An IndicationResponseHandler used by the provider to
        deliver the indications it generates.  The IndicationResponseHandler
        object remains valid until the disableIndications method is called.
        After disableIndications is called, the behavior of the
        IndicationResponseHandler is undefined.
    */
    virtual void enableIndications(IndicationResponseHandler & handler) = 0;

    /** Tells the provider to stop generating indications.  After this call,
        the IndicationResponseHandler given to the provider in the
        enableIndications method is no longer valid and its behavior is
        undefined.  Information regarding active subscriptions no longer
        applies to the provider and should be discarded at this time.
        (The provider will receive new createSubscription calls to restore
        necessary state before enableIndications is called again.)

        An exception thrown by this method is considered a provider error
        and does not affect CIM Server behavior.
    */
    virtual void disableIndications(void) = 0;

    /** Tells the provider to monitor for indications matching the specified
        subscription.  The provider may reject the subscription by throwing a
        CIMNotSupportedException.  An indication provider must reject the 
        subscription as not supported if the provider cannot carry out the 
        specified RepeatNotificationPolicy with the specified 
        RepeatNotificationInterval, RepeatNotificationGap and
        RepeatNotificationCount.

        Note that it is not necessary for a simple indication provider to
        take any action on createSubscription, modifySubscription, or
        deleteSubscription.  It may simply generate indications (or not)
        based on the enableIndications and disableIndications calls.

        An indication provider is not required to retain or make use of any
        specific subscription information.  (A provider that accepts a
        subscription with a RepeatNotificationPolicy value other than "None",
        however, requires this data for proper operation.)

        An indication should only be generated once regardless of the
        number of active subscriptions.  The indication will be sent to
        each applicable handler.  If an indication should not be sent to all
        subscribers (such as when the provider has accepted one or more
        subscriptions with a RepeatNotificationPolicy defined), the provider
        must include in a SubscriptionInstanceNamesContainer the list of
        subscriptions for which the indication is intended.

        @param context Similar to that in the other provider interfaces.
        Of particular interest to indication providers are the
        SubscriptionInstanceContainer and SubscriptionFilterConditionContainer
        containers.  The SubscriptionInstanceContainer contains the full
        CIM_IndicationSubscription instance (including, for example, more
        information about repeat notification policies).  The
        SubscriptionFilterConditionContainer contains the query string and
        query language from the CIM_IndicationFilter instance.

        @param subscriptionName Specifies the object path of the
        CIM_IndicationSubscription instance for which this provider is
        requested to generate indications.

        @param classNames Contains a list of indication class names for
        which this provider has registered as an indication provider and are
        included in the CIM_IndicationFilter for this subscription instance.
        A provider may use this as medium-level data for controlling which
        indications it generates.

        @param propertyList Specifies which properties of the specified
        class names must be (minimally) included in the indications
        generated for this subscription.

        @param repeatNotificationPolicy Contains the value of the property
        with the same name in the CIM_IndicationSubscription instance.  Most
        providers will probably not support repeat notification policies, and
        should throw a CIMNotSupportedException if the value is anything
        other than "None".
