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.

    : ToolHandleInfo( parent, createIf ),
      GaudiHandleArray< ToolHandle<T> >( myTypesAndNames,
                                         ToolHandleInfo::toolComponentType(parent),
                                         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

Definition at line 186 of file ToolHandle.h.

    : ToolHandleInfo( parent, createIf ),
      GaudiHandleArray< ToolHandle<T> >( ToolHandleInfo::toolComponentType(parent),
                                         ToolHandleInfo::toolParentName(parent) )
  { }

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.

Definition at line 196 of file ToolHandle.h.

                                                             {
    ToolHandle<T> handle( toolTypeAndName,
                          ToolHandleInfo::parent(),
                          ToolHandleInfo::createIf() );
    GaudiHandleArray< ToolHandle<T> >::push_back( handle );
    return true;
  }

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 > >.

Definition at line 205 of file ToolHandle.h.

                                                          {
    return push_back( myHandle.typeAndName() );
  }
