Object creation

[harald...@gmail.com]

I have a Client class, and an abstract Algorithm class, with multiple derived 

Algorithm classes / actual implementations AlgorithmOne and AlgorithmTwo.

I create the client from the main class via a helper class in which I do

Ptr<Application> app = m_factory.Create<TcpStreamClient> ();

and in the TcpStreamClient class I do in the constructor:

Ptr<AlgorithmOne> algoOne = CreateObject<AlgorithmOne>(a, b, c, d);

Note: I want to create the AlgoOne, AlgoTwo, etc... object inside the Client, since the client has to compute a, b, c, d first.

But now I want the client's constructor to be generic, so that I can be able to do something like

template <typename T> TcpStreamClient::TcpStreamClient ()
{
  Ptr<T> algo = CreateObject<T>(a,b,c,d);
}

and the before mentioned helper class I can do something like

Ptr<Application> app = m_factory.Create<TcpStreamClient<AlgorithmOne>> ();

which is of course obviously doesn't work that way, wrong syntax, etc.

I hope you know what I'm trying to achieve and can help me.

After having a look at the documentation, I've understood, that when an object is created with 

Create<T>()

(see object-factory.cc) Callback<ObjectBase *> cb = m_tid.GetConstructor (); is called, so it seems to get the constructor from there...

In my

TypeId TcpStreamClient::GetTypeId()

I have

.AddConstructor<TcpStreamClient> ()

which probably must be replaced somehow, because my template constructor doesn't match the default constructor...

How do I do that?
