<section id="GUID-F68E5509-F824-43CE-ADC1-EEFFEAAE2A84"><title>Description</title> <p> <filepath>InterfaceDefinition</filepath> provides an example

ECom interface definition. It declares a base class, <codeph>CExampleInterface</codeph>, from which implementations of the interface should derive. </p> <p> <codeph>CExampleInterface</codeph> provides three <codeph>NewL()</codeph> functions that allow clients to get respectively: </p> <ul>

<li id="GUID-C512F948-599C-5C46-AB2B-14348DFFD02A"><p>the default

implementation of the interface, using a specified custom resolver

to determine what is the default </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-2B3B6E81-296C-554C-BB18-BCF54121C26F"><p>an implementation

determined by the default resolver, using a specified string as a

resolution parameter </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-F0FD51DC-CC1D-5D27-ABFE-9381A168E996"><p>an implementation

determined by the default resolver, using a specified string as a

resolution parameter, and passing some data to the implementation </p> </li>

</ul> <p> <codeph>CExampleInterface</codeph> uses the overloads of <xref href="GUID-1344F049-81C4-3D17-AF46-8B5584680ADB.dita#GUID-1344F049-81C4-3D17-AF46-8B5584680ADB/GUID-ECFBCF8D-E372-36CD-8B60-0CFDBE01833E"><apiname>REComSession::CreateImplementation(TUid, TUid &amp;)</apiname></xref> to

implement these functions. </p> <p> <codeph>CExampleInterface</codeph> declares one pure virtual function, <codeph>DoMethodL()</codeph>, which supplies a service to the client. Implementations must implement

this function. </p> <p> <filepath>InterfaceDefinition</filepath> also provides an example of a custom resolver, called <codeph>CExampleResolver</codeph>. Its behaviour is the same as ECom's default resolver. Because a

resolver is an implementation of the ECom <codeph>CResolver</codeph> interface, it requires a registration resource file (<filepath>100098ea.rss</filepath>), and an exported factory table (<filepath>Proxy.cpp</filepath>). </p> </section>
