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 BALL::MoleculeObjectCreator::clear

(

)

[virtual]

Explicit default initialization. Calls ObjectCreator::clear.

Reimplemented from BALL::ObjectCreator.

virtual Composite* BALL::MoleculeObjectCreator::convertObject

(

PersistentObject &

po

)

[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

virtual void BALL::MoleculeObjectCreator::initPersistenceManager

(

TextPersistenceManager &

pm

)

[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
