Implementation overview

Implementation details

  1. Provide attribute extension by name
    odaba::Value & Property  :: attributeExtension ( odaba::String &sName )

    The function tries to locate the attribute extension with the name passed in sName. When no such attribute extension had been defined, the function throws an exception. In order to avoid exceptions, one may call attributeExtensionExist().

      if ( attributeExtensionExist("age_sum") )

        Message( attributeExtension("age_sum") );

  2. Provide attribute extension by position
    odaba::Value & Property  :: attributeExtension ( int32 iPosition )

    The function tries to locate the attribute extension at position passed in iPosition. When iPosition exceeds the number of defined attribute extensions, the function throws an exception. In order to avoid exceptions, one may call attributeExtensionCount().

      num = attributeExtensionCount();

      while ( --num >= 0 )

        Message( attributeExtension(num) );
