Dictionaries

With Server, you can declare object dictionaries. A dictionary stores smart pointers to objects and offers direct access to these objects by means of an identifier. A dictionary can contain all the instances of a class deriving from IlsObject or IlsEntity. Class typologies are defined in Relations. You can add new objects in an existing dictionary, retrieve objects using their identifier, and remove objects from the dictionary.

In Server, a dictionary is an instance of the class template IlsDictionary. The argument passed to this class template is the type of the objects you want to put in the dictionary.

Example

class Network:

public IlsEntity

{

public:

   Network(IlsIdentifier);

   static NetworkP get(IlsIdentifier id){

      return _dictionary[id];

   }

private:

   static IlsDictionary<Network> _dictionary;

};
