Detailed Description

Factory for creating ReaderWriter objects dynamically based on a type string.

This factory also handles copying between two RW object of the same type when only pointers to the base DtReaderWriter class is passed in. This factory works somewhat differently from most other factories in VRF. Some templated methods are defined that are used in place of the more traditional create() and clone() methods. To register a new RW subclass with the factory, call registerType(). RW objects must have a valid operator= and constructor which takes a name and partent registery pointer defined into order to work with this factory.

Member Function Documentation

virtual DtReaderWriter* DtReaderWriterFactory::createItem	(	const DtString &	type,
		const DtString &	name,
		DtReaderWriterRegistry *	parentRegistry
	)		const [virtual]

Creates a new RW type based on the type string provided, with the specified name and parent registry.

Returns a pointer to this new object. The factory does not do any memory management for this new objects.

virtual bool DtReaderWriterFactory::copyReaderWriter	(	const DtReaderWriter *	sourceRw,
		DtReaderWriter *	destRw
	)		const [virtual]

Uses the operator= method on the RW objects to assign sourceRw to destRw.

The objects are first casted to their actual RW object classes based on the readerWriterType() string that is returned from each. Both objects must return the same readerWriterType().

virtual DtReaderWriter* DtReaderWriterFactory::cloneReaderWriter	(	const DtString &	name,
		const DtReaderWriter *	sourceRw,
		DtReaderWriterRegistry *	parentRegistry
	)		const [virtual]

Creates a clone of the RW object to create a clone of the specified object.

The object will first be cast to its actual type, based on the readerWriterType() returned by the object. Uses the constructor and operator= of the object. (Does not use the copy constructor)

void DtReaderWriterFactory::addDefaultRwCreators

(

)

Non-virtual since it is called by the constructor.

Registers all the default VRF RW object types with the factory.

template<typename T_RWType >

void DtReaderWriterFactory::registerType

(

const DtString &

rwTypeString

)

Registers a new RW type with the factory.

This is a templated method, and must be called with the form: registerType<DtRwInt>(DtRwIntType); The basic RW type strings are defined in rwTypes.h.

const DtRwFunctionMap& DtReaderWriterFactory::functionMap

(

)

const

bool DtReaderWriterFactory::typeRegistered

(

const DtString &

rwTypeString

)

const

Returns true if the specific type is registered.

template<typename T_RWType >

static DtReaderWriter* DtReaderWriterFactory::createRWType	(	const DtString &	name,
		DtReaderWriterRegistry *	parentRegistry
	)		[static, protected]

Templated utility function that acts as a creator for the specified reader writer type.

template<typename T_RWType >

static void DtReaderWriterFactory::copyRwType	(	const DtReaderWriter *	sourceRw,
		DtReaderWriter *	destRw
	)		[static, protected]

Templated utility function that copies values from one RW to another.
