IDataProviderSvc interface definition.

System: The LHCb Offline System

Package: DataProviderSvc

The conversion service interface allows to:

• Add and remove data converters from the sercvice.
• Create objects using converters: e.g. create the transient representation of a persistent object.
• convert objects - the opposite of create: e.g. convert transient objects into the persistent representation of these objects. The objects to be converted are defined by a data selector object.
• update objects which already exist: e.g. update the existing persistent representation of objects which were read from the persistent store and should be modified. The objects to be converted are defined by a data selector object.
• Class specific aspects of the creation/update/conversion mechanism must be handled by the converters, the common aspects will be handled by the service.

Dependencies:

• STL exception mechanism: "std/exception"
• Experiment Kernel definitions: "Kernel/Kernel.h"
• Generic return code class: "Kernel/StatusCode.h"
• Generic Interface definition: "Kernel/IInterface.h"
