## Detailed Description

### template<class T>
class ToolHandleArray< T >

Array of Handles to be used in lieu of vector of naked pointers to tools.

This allows better control through the framework of tool loading and usage. T is the AlgTool interface class (or concrete class) of the tool to use, and must derive from IAlgTool.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class T>

ToolHandleArray< T >::ToolHandleArray | ( | const std::vector< std::string > & | myTypesAndNames,
|  | const IInterface * | parent = `0`,
|  | bool | createIf = `true` |
| ) |  |  | `[inline]`

Generic constructor.

Probably not very useful...

Parameters:

  | typesAndNamesList | : a vector of strings with the concrete "type/name" strings for the list of tools
  | parent | : passed on to ToolHandle, so has the same meaning as for ToolHandle
  | createIf | : passed on to ToolHandle, so has the same meaning as for ToolHandle

Definition at line 174 of file ToolHandle.h.

    00176     : ToolHandleInfo( parent, createIf ),
    00177       GaudiHandleArray< ToolHandle<T> >( myTypesAndNames,
    00178                                          ToolHandleInfo::toolComponentType(parent),
    00179                                          ToolHandleInfo::toolParentName(parent) )

template<class T>

ToolHandleArray< T >::ToolHandleArray | ( | const IInterface * | parent = `0`,
|  | bool | createIf = `true` |
| ) |  |  | `[inline]`

Constructor which creates and empty list.

Parameters:

  | parent | : passed on to ToolHandle, so has the same meaning as for ToolHandle
  | createIf | : passed on to ToolHandle, so has the same meaning as for ToolHandle

## Member Function Documentation

template<class T>

virtual bool ToolHandleArray< T >::push_back | ( | const std::string & | toolTypeAndName | ) | `[inline, virtual]`

Add a handle to the array with given tool type and name.

This function overrides the one in GaudiHandleArray<T>, as this is a special case. The private/public choice and createIf is determined by what was given in the constructor of the ToolHandleArray.

Implements GaudiHandleArrayBase.

    00196                                                              {
    00197     ToolHandle<T> handle( toolTypeAndName,
    00198                           ToolHandleInfo::parent(),
    00199                           ToolHandleInfo::createIf() );
    00200     GaudiHandleArray< ToolHandle<T> >::push_back( handle );
    00201     return true;
    00202   }

template<class T>

virtual bool ToolHandleArray< T >::push_back | ( | const ToolHandle< T > & | myHandle | ) | `[inline, virtual]`

Ensure that for added handles the parent and creatIf are taken from this array.

Reimplemented from GaudiHandleArray< ToolHandle< T > >.
