[Sblim-devel] New Release: SBLIM Java CIM Client 2.2.5

[Dave B. <de...@us...>]

Today the SBLIM project has released the JSR48 CIM Client for Java 
version 2.2.5.   It is fully compliant with the final DSP0201 2.4 
(Representation of CIM in XML) specification and with the updated final 
JSR48 1.0.0 specification (documentation changes only). It contains two 
new features:

  * Two new Java properties - sblim.wbem.sslClientProtocol and 
sblim.wbem.sslListenerProtocol - can be used to set the protocol used 
for SSLContext.getInstance(String protocol) by a client or listener. (#2647)
  * One new Java property - 
sblim.wbem.cimxmlParser.allowEmptyLocalNameSpacePath - can be used to 
have the client allow LOCALNAMESPACEPATH elements without NAMESPACE 
child elements in incoming responses. (#2711)

Version 2.2.5 also contains five changes that might affect existing 
applications:

  * Three internal APIs - CIMXMLParserImpl.parseNAMESPACE, 
parseClassName and parseCLASSNAME - now throw the CIMXMLParseException. 
(#2670)
  * The internal API CIMXMLBuilderImpl.createMETHODCALL now only has 
three parameters, pParamtype is not needed. (#2689)
  * Two internal APIs - Node.getParamType and CIMObjectFactory.getType - 
now throw the SAXException. (#2693)
     One internal API - PropertyNode.childValueNodeParsed - now throws 
the SAXException. (#2700)
     One internal API - PropertyArrayNode.childValueNodeParsed - now 
throws the SAXException. (#2701)
