IAthenaOutputStreamTool Class Reference

This is a tool that allows streaming out of DataObjects. This has been factorized out from AthenaOutputStream to allow output streaming to occur from anywhere, for example from the finalized method of an algorithm. More...

Detailed Description

This is a tool that allows streaming out of DataObjects. This has been factorized out from AthenaOutputStream to allow output streaming to occur from anywhere, for example from the finalized method of an algorithm.

How to use the IAthenaOutputStreamTool:

An initial setup of services should be done either via the interface with connectServices or via jobOptions. Note that the defaults are set to Conditions data writing, since event data writing is normally done with AthenaOutputStream.:

To write to a POOL/ROOT file one simply needs:

ToolSvc = Service( "ToolSvc" ) ToolSvc.CondStream1.OutputFile = "SimplePoolFile.root"

where one retrieves the AthenaOutputStreamTool with name CondStream1. The default job opts are:

ConversionSvc = "AthenaPoolCnvSvc" StoreName = "DetectorStore"

After initialization of services, one writes out with a sequence of:

connectOutput() streamObjects(<list of objects>) commitOutput()

where

be a vector of type/key pairs, or a vector of DataObjects.

Member Typedef Documentation

DataObjectVec

typedef std::vector< DataObject* > IAthenaOutputStreamTool::DataObjectVec

Stream out a vector of objects Must convert to DataObject, e.g.

#include "AthenaKernel/StorableConversions.h" T* obj = xxx; DataObject* dataObject = SG::asStorable(obj);

Definition at line 108 of file IAthenaOutputStreamTool.h.

TypeKeyPair

typedef std::pair<std::string, std::string> IAthenaOutputStreamTool::TypeKeyPair

Stream out objects.

Provide vector of typeName/key pairs. If key is empty, assumes only one object and this will fail if there is more than one

Definition at line 99 of file IAthenaOutputStreamTool.h.

TypeKeyPairs

typedef std::vector< TypeKeyPair > IAthenaOutputStreamTool::TypeKeyPairs
