       typedef std::map< String, NewBaseObjectFunction > StringFunctionMap

   Static Public Member Functions
       static void add (const char *name, NewBaseObjectFunction construction)
           This adds a new construction function to the type manager.
       static void remove (const char *name)
           And this one removes a type from the managers lists.
       static BaseObject * createInstanceOf (const char *name)
           This function creates a new object of the required type and returns a pointer to it.

Detailed Description

       This class manages the types for generation of the persistent objects.

       Its data structures are managed automatically by the system. They are implicitly filled by
       the constructors who declare classes to the system.

       This function creates a new object of the required type and returns a pointer to it. NULL
       is returned if we couldn't find the type

   static void ost::TypeManager::remove (const char * name) [static]
