virtual Boolean IT_Bus::ContextContainer::add_context	(	const QName &	context_name,
		Context &	context
	)			[pure virtual]

Add specific context to the container for context that is not generated from a schema description.

The context is a just C++ object that derives from Context.

Parameters:

	QName	of the desired context.
	context	data

Returns:

Boolean indicating if context was added

virtual Boolean IT_Bus::ContextContainer::add_context	(	const QName &	context_name,
		AnyType &	context
	)			[pure virtual]

Add specific context to the container for context that is generated from a schema description.

Parameters:

	QName	of the desired context.
	context	data that derives from AnyType

Returns:

Boolean indicating if context was added

virtual bool IT_Bus::ContextContainer::contains

(

const QName &

context_name

)

[pure virtual]

Returns a indicator as to whether this container contains a specific context.

Parameters:

QName

of the desired context.

Returns:

bool indicating whether the context exists in this container.

virtual const BindingContext* IT_Bus::ContextContainer::get_binding_context	(	const QName &	context_name,
		const QName &	binding_context
	)			const [pure virtual]

Return a binding specific context.

Parameters:

	QName	of the desired context.
	String	containing the URI of the desired binding.

Returns:

A pointer to the desired BindingContext.

virtual BindingContext* IT_Bus::ContextContainer::get_binding_context	(	const QName &	context_name,
		const QName &	binding_context,
		bool	create_if_not_found = false
	)			[pure virtual]

Return a binding specific context.

Parameters:

	QName	of the desired context.
	String	containing the URI of the desired binding.
	bool	indicating whether an instance of the context should be created if one does not already exist; default is false.

Returns:

A pointer to the desired BindingContext.

virtual const AnyType* IT_Bus::ContextContainer::get_context

(

const QName &

context_name

)

const [pure virtual]

Return a pointer to a specific context.

Parameters:

QName

of the desired context.

Returns:

A pointer to an AnyType; the instance must be cast to the appropriate context type.

virtual AnyType* IT_Bus::ContextContainer::get_context	(	const QName &	context_name,
		bool	create_if_not_found = false
	)			[pure virtual]

Return a pointer to a specific context.

Parameters:

	QName	of the desired context.
	bool	indicating whether an instance of the context should be created if one does not already exist; default is false.

Returns:

A pointer to an AnyType; the instance must be cast to the appropriate context type.

For example, for the built-in context representing the HTTP client outgoing context, the following code retrieves the context from the request container and casts to the appropriate type (clientType).

 IT_Bus::Bus_var bus = IT_Bus::init(argc, argv);
 ContextRegistry* registry = bus -> get_context_registry();
 ContextCurrent& current = registry -> get_current();
 ContextContainer* request_container =
 current.request_contexts();
 AnyType& info = request_container -> get_context
   (
     IT_ContextAttributes::HTTP_CLIENT_OUTGOING_CONTEXTS,
     true
   );
 clientType& config = dynamic_cast<clientType&> (info);
 

virtual const Context* IT_Bus::ContextContainer::get_context_data

(

const QName &

context_name

)

const [pure virtual]

Return a pointer to a specific context.

Parameters:

QName

of the desired context.

Returns:

A pointer to the desired context.

virtual Context* IT_Bus::ContextContainer::get_context_data

(

const QName &

context_name

)

[pure virtual]

Return a pointer to a specific context.

Parameters:

QName

of the desired context.

Returns:

A pointer to the desired context.

virtual Boolean IT_Bus::ContextContainer::remove_context

(

const QName &

context_name

)

[pure virtual]

Remove Context from container if present.

Parameters:

QName

of the desired context to remove

Returns:

Boolean indicating if context was removed
