| Apache Tuscany C++ M1 build (July, 2006) |
| =================================== |
| |
| http://incubator.apache.org/tuscany |
| |
| Tuscany is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation |
| (ASF), sponsored by the Web Services PMC. |
| |
| Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review |
| indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process |
| have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. |
| |
| While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or |
| stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully |
| endorsed by the ASF. |
| |
| |
| Getting Started |
| =============== |
| |
| Documentation describing the system requirements and the steps to install |
| Tuscany SDO C++ and run the samples can be found in the GettingStarted.html file. |
| |
| |
| About Tuscany SDO for C++ |
| ========================= |
| |
| Tuscany SDO is an implementation of the Service Data Objects 2.0 specification for C++ developers. |
| |
| The implementation adheres closely to the specification, but there are a number of features which |
| did not make it into this release. These are documented below. |
| |
| |
| Generic get/set |
| --------------- |
| The C++ implementation defines a set of access methods directly appropriate to each Type. For example |
| getString(), setString(), getBoolean(), setBoolean(). There is no generic get() method as there is no |
| common base object to return - unlike the java implementation which can return an Object. |
| |
| |
| Typesafe interface |
| ------------------ |
| There is no code generation in this version, so there is no interface such that a property called |
| "Name" can be accessed via object->getName(). The name must be accessed via object->getString("Name"); |
| |
| |
| Change Summary Serialization |
| ---------------------------- |
| Change summaries contain creations, deletions and modifications to data graphs. The specification |
| indicates that these will be serialized to XML such that creations and deletions will become attributes |
| of the change summary element, whilst changes become elements within the change summary element. |
| This implementation saves all creations, deletions and changes as elements within the chang summary |
| element. |
| |
| |
| Change Summary Undo |
| ------------------- |
| The undo method of a change summary is not implemented. |
| |
| |
| Read-Only |
| --------- |
| Read-only data elements are not supported by this implementation. Properties may be set read-only, but |
| the property may still be modified without an error. |
| |
| |
| Opposites |
| --------- |
| Opposites are not supported by this implementation. |
| |
| |
| Date and Time |
| ------------- |
| Date support is limited to using a time_t. There are no calendar or duration style objects, and no |
| helpers for conversions. |
| |
| |
| BigDecimal and BigInteger |
| ------------------------- |
| The equivalent of the java BigDecimal and BigInteger objects are not implmented. |
| |
| |
| NLS support |
| ----------- |
| Data objects may contain multi-byte data in the form of an SDO string, but locale information is not |
| stored with the data. |
| |
| The creation API only allows properties and types to have ascii names (taking a char* as the name). |
| |
| |
| Inheritance |
| ----------- |
| Type inheritance is single only. |
