## Detailed Description

### template<class TYPE>
class SmartDataLocator< TYPE >

A small class used to access easily (and efficiently) data items residing in data stores.

The class constructors take several arguments neccessary to be passed tyo the data services in order to automatically load objects in case they are not yet loaded. This is achieved through a smart pointer mechanism i.e. by overloading the operator->() at dereferencing time the the object will be requested from the store.

The SmartDataLocator is meant to be "short living". It only makes sense to keep an object instance within e.g. the scope of one method. "long living" instances do not make sense and in the contrary would be harmful, because the information passed during construction to would be invalid and returned object pointers would actually point to hyperspace.

The intrinsic functionality, wether the object will be retrieved or loaded from the data store is defined by the LOADER::.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class TYPE >

SmartDataLocator< TYPE >::SmartDataLocator | ( | IDataProviderSvc * | pService,
|  | const std::string & | fullPath
| ) |  |
| inline

Standard constructor: Construct an SmartDataLocator instance which is able to connect to a DataObject instance which is identified by its parent object and the path relative to the parent.

Parameters

  pService | Pointer to the data service interface which should be used to load the object.
  fullPath | Full path leading to the data object.

Definition at line 55 of file SmartDataLocator.h.

template<class TYPE >

SmartDataLocator< TYPE >::SmartDataLocator | ( | IDataProviderSvc * | pService,
|  | IRegistry * | pDirectory
| ) |  |
| inline

Standard constructor: Construct an SmartDataLocator instance which is able to connect to a DataObject instance which is identified by its directory entry.

FASTEST ACCESS TO THE DATA STORE ***

Parameters

  pService | Pointer to the data service interface which should be used to load the object.
  pDirectory | Pointer to the data directory entry.
