## Detailed Description

The useful base class for tools.

Small extension of ordinary the AlgTool base class.

This base class allows "easy"(=="1 line") access to tools and services. This access is safe in the sense that there is no need to worry about the reference counts for tools and services.

The base class allows "easy" (=="1 line") access to data in Gaudi Transient Stores. The functionality includes the checking of the presence of the data at the given location, checking the validity of the data, retrieval of valid data and "forced" retrive of valid data (create if there is no data).

The base class allows to perform an easy error, warning and exception treatments, including the accumulated statistics of exceptions, errors and warnings.

The base class also includes utilities for general statistical counters.

It has been reported that usage of this base class results in significant shrinkage of existing code lines.

Attention:
  See the class GaudiCommon, which implements some of the common functionality between GaudiTool and GaudiAlgorithm

Register a data object or container into Gaudi Event Transient Store.

Parameters:

  | svc | Pointer to data provider service
  | object | Data object or container to be registered
  | address | Address in Gaudi Event Transient Store ("/Event" could be omitted )
  | useRootInTES | Flag to turn on(TRUE) off(FALSE) the use of the RootInTES location property

Exceptions:

  | GaudiException | for invalid event data service

TYPE* GaudiTool::getOrCreate | ( | IDataProviderSvc * | svc,
|  | const std::string & | location,
|  | const bool | useRootInTES = `true` |
| ) |  |  | const`[inline]`

Get the existing data object from Gaudi Event Transient store.

Alternatively, create new object and register it in TES and return if object does not exist.

      MyHits* hits = getOrCreate<MyHits,MyHits>( evtSvc() , "/Event/MyHits" ) ;

Attention:
  The method respects the setting of the job option RootInTES by prepending the value of this to the data location that is passed. The default setting for RootInTES is "" so has no effect. This behaviour can be suppressed by passing the arguement useRootInTES = false

Exceptions:

  | GaudiException | for Invalid Data Provider Service
  | GaudiException | for invalid/unavailable data

Parameters:

  | svc | Pointer to data service (data provider)
  | location | Location in Gaudi Transient Event Store
  | useRootInTES | Flag to turn on(TRUE) off(FALSE) the use of the RootInTES location property

Returns:
  A valid pointer to the object
