Detailed Description

An implementation of the abstract interface BESDefinitionStorage provides storage for a definition, or view, of a set of data including possibly constraints on each of those containers and possibly aggregation of those containers.

An instance of a derived implementation has a name associated with it, in case that there are multiple ways in which the information can be stored. For example, the main persistent storage for containers could be a mysql database, but a user could store temporary information in different files. If the user wishes to remove one of these persistence stores they would request that a named BESDefinitionStorage object be removed from the list.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ BESDefinitionStorage()

BESDefinitionStorage::BESDefinitionStorage ( const string &  name)
inline
Parameters
namename of this persistence store

Definition at line 75 of file BESDefinitionStorage.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ add_definition()

virtual bool BESDefinitionStorage::add_definition ( const string &  def_name,
BESDefine d 
)
pure virtual

This method adds a definition to the definition store, taking ownership of that definition. If the definition already exists, then the definition is NOT added.

Parameters
def_namename of the definition to add
ddefinition to add
Returns
true if successfully added, false if already exists

Implemented in BESDefinitionStorageVolatile.

◆ del_definition()

virtual bool BESDefinitionStorage::del_definition ( const string &  def_name)
pure virtual

This method deletes a definition from the definition store with the given name.

Parameters
def_namename of the defintion to delete
Returns
true if successfully deleted and false otherwise

Implemented in BESDefinitionStorageVolatile.

◆ del_definitions()

virtual bool BESDefinitionStorage::del_definitions ( )
pure virtual
Returns
true if successfully deleted and false otherwise

Implemented in BESDefinitionStorageVolatile.

◆ dump()

virtual void BESDefinitionStorage::dump ( ostream &  strm) const
pure virtual
Parameters
strmoutput stream to use to dump the contents of this object

Implements BESObj.

Implemented in BESDefinitionStorageVolatile.

◆ get_name()

virtual const string& BESDefinitionStorage::get_name ( ) const
inlinevirtual
Returns
name of this persistent store.

Definition at line 84 of file BESDefinitionStorage.h.

References add_definition(), del_definition(), del_definitions(), dump(), look_for(), and show_definitions().

◆ look_for()

virtual BESDefine* BESDefinitionStorage::look_for ( const string &  def_name)
pure virtual
Parameters
def_namename of the definition to look for
Returns
definition with the given name, NULL if not found

Implemented in BESDefinitionStorageVolatile.

◆ show_definitions()

virtual void BESDefinitionStorage::show_definitions ( BESInfo info)
pure virtual

Add information to the passed information response object about each of the defintions stored within this defintion store. The information added to the passed information objects includes the name of this persistent store on the first line followed by the information for each definition on the following lines.

Parameters
infoinformation response object to store the information in

Implemented in BESDefinitionStorageVolatile.
