23 deferred class SessionDumper from IFSelect inherits TShared
25 ---Purpose : A SessionDumper is called by SessionFile. It takes into
26 -- account a set of classes (such as Selections, Dispatches ...).
27 -- SessionFile writes the Type (as defined by cdl) of each Item
28 -- and its general Parameters. It manages the names of the Items.
30 -- A SessionDumper must be able to Write the Parameters which are
31 -- own of each Item it takes into account, given its Class, then
32 -- to Recognize the Type and Read its Own Parameters to create
33 -- an Item of this Type with these own Parameters.
35 -- Then, there must be defined one sub-type of SessionDumper per
36 -- consistent set of classes (e.g. a package).
38 -- By Own Parameters, understand Parameters given at Creation Time
39 -- if there are, or specific of a given class, apart from those
40 -- defined at superclass levels (e.g. Final Selection for a
41 -- Dispatch, Input Selection for a SelectExtract or SelectDeduct,
42 -- Direct Status for a SelectExtract, etc...).
44 -- The Parameters are those stored in a WorkSession, they can be
45 -- of Types : IntParam, HAsciiString (for TextParam), Selection,
48 -- SessionDumpers are organized in a Library which is used by
49 -- SessionFile. They are put at Creation Time in this Library.
51 uses Transient, AsciiString from TCollection, SessionFile
56 ---Purpose : The Initialization puts a just created SessionDumper in the
57 -- Library of SessionDumper. Then, it suffices to create once
58 -- a SessionDumper to fill the Library with it
60 First (myclass) returns SessionDumper;
61 ---Purpose : Returns the First item of the Library of Dumper. The Next ones
62 -- are then obtained by Next on the returned items
64 Next (me) returns SessionDumper;
65 ---Purpose : Returns the Next SesionDumper in the Library. Returns a Null
68 WriteOwn (me; file : in out SessionFile; item : Transient)
69 returns Boolean is deferred;
70 ---Purpose : Writes the Own Parameters of a given Item, if it forecast to
72 -- Returns True if it has recognized the Type of the Item (in
73 -- this case, it is assumed to have written the Own Parameters if
74 -- there are some), False else : in that case, SessionFile will
75 -- try another SessionDumper in the Library.
76 -- WriteOwn can use these methods from SessionFile : SendVoid,
77 -- SendItem, SendText, and if necessary, WorkSession.
79 ReadOwn (me; file : in out SessionFile;
80 type : AsciiString from TCollection; item : out mutable Transient)
81 returns Boolean is deferred;
82 ---Purpose : Recognizes a Type (given as <type>) then Creates an Item of
83 -- this Type with the Own Parameter, as required.
84 -- Returns True if it has recognized the Type (in this case, it
85 -- is assumed to have created the Item, returned as <item>),
86 -- False else : in that case, SessionFile will try another
87 -- SessionDumper in the Library.
88 -- ReadOwn can use these methods from SessionFile to access Own
89 -- Parameters : NbOwnParams, IsVoid, IsText, TextValue, ItemValue
