                   IOR ior2)

Checks whether two IORs are equivalent, taking only profiles into account matching this Connector factory.

Parameters:

ior1 - The first IOR to check for equivalence.

ior2 - The second IOR to check for equivalence.

Returns:

TRUE if the IORs are equivalent, FALSE otherwise.

hash

int hash(IOR ref,
         int maximum)

Calculates a hash value for an IOR.

Parameters:

ref - The IOR to calculate a hash value for.

maximum - The maximum value of the hash value.

Returns:

The hash value.

get_info

ConFactoryInfo get_info()

Returns the information object associated with the Connector factory.
