IAddressCreator::DeclareInterfaceID	(	IAddressCreator	,
		3	,
		0
	)

InterfaceID.

virtual StatusCode IAddressCreator::createAddress	(	long	svc_type,
		const CLID &	clid,
		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.

	)			[pure virtual]

Creates an address in string form to object form.

Parameters:

	svc_type	Technology identifier encapsulated in this address.
	clid	Class identifier of the DataObject represented by the opaque address
