Imrpove C++ client API
----------------------
Key: QPID-342
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-342
Project: Qpid
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: C++ Client
Reporter: Alan Conway
Currently the C++ client API is like this:
Connection myConnection;
myConnection.open(...);
Channel myChannel;
myConnection.openChannel(myChannel);
myChannel.dostuff...
I would like to change it to be like this:
Connection::shared_ptr myConnection = Connection::open(...);
Channel::shared_ptr myChannel = myConnection->openChannel(...channel args);
myChannel->dostuff...
There are two problems with the current approach:
- constructor creates "lame" objects, need an open() call to make them
useful.
- Letting user call constructor directly means we can't change the
implementation class, whereas the second approach allows us to return
anything inheriting from the user-visible class.
