Member Functions
- virtual IMap* mi::rswservices::IProtocol_context::get_attachments() const [pure virtual]
 - 
                        
retrieves the global attachment object. These attachments will be provided to all context objects.
Returns
an object with which to manipulate attachments
 - virtual const nservices::IService_command* mi::rswservices::IProtocol_context::get_command( const char* command_name, const char* command_set) const [pure virtual]
 - 
                        
Retrieves a registered service command.
Parameters
- command_name
 - the name of the command.
 - command_set
 - the command set in which to look for the command.
 
Returns
the found command or NULL if command_name or command_set don't exist or the framework is not initialized
 - virtual const nservices::IService_command* mi::rswservices::IProtocol_context::get_command( Size idx, const char* command_set) const [pure virtual]
 - 
                        
Allows for iteration over all registered commands.
Parameters
- idx
 - the index of the command
 - command_set
 - the command set in which to look for the command.
 
Returns
the found command or NULL if idx is too large.
 - virtual IDynamic_array* mi::rswservices::IProtocol_context::get_command_array() [pure virtual]
 - 
                        
returns an array which the user should add ICommand_request objects to. Each command will be executed in the order they appear in the array
Returns
the array.
 - virtual const char* mi::rswservices::IProtocol_context::get_command_set( Size idx) const [pure virtual]
 - 
                        
Allows for iteration over all registered command sets.
Parameters
- idx
 - the index of the command set
 
Returns
the command set name or NULL if idx is too large.
 - virtual mi::nservices::IConverter* mi::rswservices::IProtocol_context::get_converter() const [pure virtual]
 - 
                        
Returns the type converter used. This will be the default neuray services one unless set_converter has been called.
Returns
the type converter
 - virtual nservices::IEvent_context* mi::rswservices::IProtocol_context::get_event_context() [pure virtual]
 - 
                        
get the event context associated with this service request
Returns
the event context
 - virtual nservices::IFactory* mi::rswservices::IProtocol_context::get_factory() [pure virtual]
 - 
                        
retrieves a factory
Returns
the factory or NULL if neuray services is not initialized.
 - virtual const nservices::IUser_type_definition* mi::rswservices::IProtocol_context::get_user_type( const char* type_name) const [pure virtual]
 - 
                        
Gets the description of a registered user type.
Parameters
- type_name
 - the name of the type.
 
Returns
the user type or NULL if not found.
 - virtual const nservices::IUser_type_definition* mi::rswservices::IProtocol_context::get_user_type( Size idx) const [pure virtual]
 - 
                        
Allows for iteration over all registered user types.
Parameters
- idx
 - the index of the user type.
 
Returns
the user type or NULL if idx is too large.
 - virtual mi::Sint32 mi::rswservices::IProtocol_context::set_converter( mi::nservices::IConverter* converter) [pure virtual]
 - 
                        
Specifies a converter implementation to use for this protocols command arguments. The supplied converter will override the default one used by neuray services. A protocol would typically supply it's own converter if it's string representation of types is not supported by the default. A converter should be set during the deserialization phase and it will be made available to the neuray services core and during the serialization phase.
Note:a converter can only be set during the deserialize phase of protocol processing. If set_converter is called during serialization the call will fail.
Parameters
- converter
 - the converter to use.
 
Returns
- NRS_ERROR_NONE : success.
 - NRS_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETERS : converter is NULL
 - NRS_ERROR_FAILED : general failure.
