It is necessary to invoke
the Initialize function on all mediators prior to use. Initialize will
automatically invoke Initialize on all associated mediators.Mediators can be associated with other mediators at runtime. When it is necessary to add an additional colleague to a specific mediator that is part of a collection, the GetMediator template function can be used to obtain a pointer to the desired mediator. GetMediator can also be used to retrieve pointers to specific interfaces. The GetMediator function is a member of the IPKIFMediator interface and is defined as follows:
template<class X> X* GetMediator() const;
The function takes one template parameter that identifies the mediator to retrieve. When the requested mediator is not found NULL is returned. The GetMediator function is used as follos:
CPKIFCryptoMediator2 cryptoMediator = new CPKIFCryptoMediator2();
CPKIFCacheMediator2 cacheMediator = new CPKIFCacheMediator2();
CPKIFRevocationStatusMediator2 revStatMed = new CPKIFRevocationStatusMediator2();
CPKIFPathProcessingMediator2 pathProcMediator;
pathProcMediator.Initialize();
pathProcMediator.AddMediator(cryptoMediator);
pathProcMediator.AddMediator(cacheMediator);
pathProcMediator.AddMediator(revStatMed);
//retrieve a pointer to the IPKIFCryptoKeyIDOperations interface
to exercise functionality via that interface
IPKIFCryptoKeyIDOperations* cryptoKeyID = pathProcMediator.GetMediator<IPKIFCryptoKeyIDOperations>();
//retrieve a pointer to the CPKIFCacheMediator2 mediator to
perform operations on the mediator object itself
CPKIFCacheMediator2* cacheMediator = pathProcMediator.GetMediator<CPKIFCacheMediator2 >();
