Detailed Description

IAddressCreator interface definition.

The address creator allows to:

Create persistent address representations for a given conversion service using this service itself. The aim is to allow address creation without coupling directly to the service.

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.

virtual StatusCode IAddressCreator::createAddress	(	long	svc_type,
		const CLID &	clid,
		const std::string &	refAddress,
		IOpaqueAddress *&	refpAddress
	)		`[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
address	Input address.
refpAddress	Output address in string form.

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.
