## NAME

ACE\_Service\_Type -  Keeps track of information related to the various ACE\_Service\_Type\_Impl subclasses.

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <ace/Service_Object.h>
class ACE_Service_Type
{
  public:
    enum{ DELETE_OBJ = 1, DELETE_THIS = 2 };
    ACE_Service_Type (
        const ASYS_TCHAR *n,
        ACE_Service_Type_Impl *o,
        const ACE_SHLIB_HANDLE handle,
        int active
        );
    ~ACE_Service_Type (void);
    const ASYS_TCHAR *name (void) const;
    void name (const ASYS_TCHAR *);
    const char *chname (void) const;
    const ACE_Service_Type_Impl *type (void) const;
    void type (const ACE_Service_Type_Impl *, int active = 1);
    ACE_SHLIB_HANDLE handle (void) const;
    void handle (const ACE_SHLIB_HANDLE);
    void suspend (void) const;

    void active (int);
    void fini (void);
    int fini_called (void) const;
    void dump (void) const;
    ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE;
  private:
    const ASYS_TCHAR *name_;
    char *chname_;
    const ACE_Service_Type_Impl *type_;
    ACE_SHLIB_HANDLE handle_;
    int active_;
    int fini_already_called_;
};
```

## DESCRIPTION

This class acts as the interface of the "Bridge" pattern.

## Initialization and termination methods.

```
ACE_Service_Type (
    const ASYS_TCHAR *n,
    ACE_Service_Type_Impl *o,
    const ACE_SHLIB_HANDLE handle,
    int active
    );
```

```
~ACE_Service_Type (void);
```

```
const ASYS_TCHAR *name (void) const;
```

```
void name (const ASYS_TCHAR *);
```

```
const char *chname (void) const;
```

```
const ACE_Service_Type_Impl *type (void) const;
```

```
void type (const ACE_Service_Type_Impl *, int active = 1);
```

```
ACE_SHLIB_HANDLE handle (void) const;
```

```
void handle (const ACE_SHLIB_HANDLE);
```

```
void suspend (void) const;
```

```
void resume (void) const;
```

```
int active (void) const;
```

```
void active (int);
```

```
void fini (void);
```

Calls fini on type\_

```
int fini_called (void) const;
```

Check if the service has been fini'ed.

```
void dump (void) const;
```

Dump the state of an object.

```
ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE;
```

Declare the dynamic allocation hooks.
