|  | const std::string * | par,
|  | const unsigned long * | ipar,
|  | IOpaqueAddress *& | refpAddress |
| ) |  |  | `[pure virtual]`

Create a Generic address using explicit arguments to identify a single object.

Parameters:

  | svc_type | Technology identifier encapsulated in this address.
  | clid | Class identifier of the DataObject represented by the opaque address
  | par | Array of strings needed to construct the opaque address.
  | ipar | Array of integers needed to construct the opaque address.
  | refpAddress | Reference to pointer to the address where the created Address should be stored.

Returns:
  Status code indicating success or failure.

virtual StatusCode IAddressCreator::convertAddress | ( | const IOpaqueAddress * | pAddress,
|  | std::string & | refAddress |
| ) |  |  | `[pure virtual]`

Convert an address to string form.

Parameters:

  | pAddress | Input address.
  | refAddress | Output address in string form.

Returns:
  Status code indicating success or failure.
