Detailed Description

The conversion service interface allows to:

• Add, get and remove data converters from the sercvice.
• Create objects using converters: e.g. create the transient representation of a persistent object.
• convert objects - the opposite of create: e.g. convert transient objects into the persistent representation of these objects. The objects to be converted are defined by a data selector object.
• update objects which already exist: e.g. update the existing persistent representation of objects which were read from the persistent store and should be modified. The objects to be converted are defined by a data selector object.
• Class specific aspects of the creation/update/conversion mechanism must be handled by the converters, the common aspects will be handled by the service.

		bool	do_commit
	)		[pure virtual]

Commit pending output.

Parameters:

outputFile	String containig output file
do_commit	if true commit the output and flush eventually pending items to the database if false, discard pending buffers. Note: The possibility to commit or rollback depends on the database technology used!

Returns:

Status code indicating success or failure.

virtual StatusCode IConversionSvc::connectOutput	(	const std::string &	outputFile,

IConversionSvc::DeclareInterfaceID	(	IConversionSvc	,
		4	,
		0
	)

InterfaceID.

virtual StatusCode IConversionSvc::removeConverter

(

const CLID &

clid )
