Detailed Description

MoleculeObjectCreator class.

The class MoleculeObjectCreator is a class for converting PersistentObject objects that represent molecular structures into Composite objects. Objects that do not represent molecular structures will not be converted. All necessary initialization and registration of molecular structure patterns will be done in the method initPersistenceManager. The conversion will be executed in the method convertObject. This class is used by the class Server to convert incoming PersistentObject objects to Composite objects.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void MoleculeObjectCreator::clear (   )  throw () [virtual]

Explicit default initialization. Calls ObjectCreator::clear. Reimplemented from ObjectCreator.

virtual Composite* MoleculeObjectCreator::convertObject (  PersistentObject &  po  )  throw () [virtual]

Converts persistent objects. If po is an object that represents a molecular structure (an Atom, Protein or System) it will be converted into a Composite object and returned. If it is none of the above 0 will be returned. See TextPersistenceManager for information on how to convert PersistentObject objects into other objects. Parameters: po  a reference to a PersistentObject to be converted Returns: Composite* a converted Composite object if po could successfully be converted into a Composite object See also: initPersistenceManager Reimplemented from ObjectCreator.

virtual void MoleculeObjectCreator::initPersistenceManager (  TextPersistenceManager &  pm  )  throw () [virtual]

Initializes the TextPersistenceManager of this moleculeObjectCreator. Registers all necessary molecular structures available in BALL. See TextPersistenceManager for information on how and why to register PersistentObject classes. Parameters: pm  the TextPersistenceManager to be initialized See also: TextPersistenceManager convertObject Reimplemented from ObjectCreator.
