Rechercherichtung

Start by tracing WqlRow.get(String), the WQL query execution path, and the legacy WinRMWqlExecutor.getRows() and WindowsRemoteExecutor.executeWql APIs. Review how WS-Management exposes CIM class and value information before deciding the typed opt-in shape. Done means a defined mapping for scalar, array, datetime, embedded, and NULL values while preserving the existing string API; the issue does not name tests or implementation files.

Beschreibung

enhancement

Follow-up to #189 (PR #193), where WMI array properties were fixed to come back as a single string joined with | (configurable with WinRMClient.Builder.arraySeparator(String)).

Problem

Every WQL value is exposed as a String, whatever its CIM type. Consumers parse numbers, booleans, dates and now |-joined arrays themselves:

  • WqlRow.get(String) is declared Object but always returns a String.
  • An array property is a joined string: a single-element array is indistinguishable from a scalar, and an element that contains the separator is ambiguous.
  • NULL is an empty string, indistinguishable from an empty string value.
  • CIM datetimes arrive in the WS-Management form (<cim:Datetime>2024-05-01T12:34:56.789Z</cim:Datetime> for CIM_DATETIME values, or an interval), which nobody wants to parse by hand.

Proposal

A typed result variant where the row values are native Java objects, alongside the existing string-based API (which stays the default, and the only one for the legacy WinRMWqlExecutor.getRows() / List<List<String>>).

Suggested shape, to be refined:

  • Opt in per query, e.g. client.wql(query).typed().execute(), or a WqlRow.typed(String) / WqlRow.list(String) accessor family; the legacy List<Map<String, Object>> of WindowsRemoteExecutor.executeWql could also carry typed values under an opt-in flag, so WinRMWqlExecutor keeps its strings.
  • Mapping from the type information WS-Management gives us. The instance XML carries no xsi:type; the CIM type must come from the class schema (a WSMan Get of the class definition, winrm get wmi/...?__CLASS, or the p: XML schema), or from the value form (<cim:Datetime> wrapper, xsi:nil, repeated elements).

Suggested mapping:

CIM type Java
string, char16 String
boolean Boolean
sint8/sint16/sint32/sint64, uint8/uint16/uint32 Integer / Long (uint64 → BigInteger or Long)
real32/real64 Float / Double
datetime java.time.Instant / OffsetDateTime for timestamps, Duration for intervals
reference String (the object path)
embedded object nested WqlRow
array of any of the above List<T>
NULL (xsi:nil="true") null

Open questions

  • Where the CIM type information comes from without an extra round trip per query (cache the class schema per client and class?).
  • Whether the WS-Management datetime encoding is consistent across Windows versions (2008 R2 through 2022 are available as test hosts).
  • Whether the CLI should emit JSON arrays/numbers/booleans/null when typed values are available (today it emits strings only).

Not in scope

The string API stays as it is: the | join and the empty-string NULL are documented behavior since 2.3.00.
