//_HADES_CLASS_DESCRIPTION
//
//  FairParamObj
//
//  Class for parameters stored in binary format in Oracle and used as list
//  elements in FairParamList::paramList.
//
//  The overloaded constructors and fill-functions accept single values or arrays of type
//    UChar_t, Int_t, Float_t, Double_t, char_t, Text_t.
//  The arguments for arrays are
//      the name of the parameter
//      the pointer to the array
//      the length of the array
//  The data are automatically converted to an UChar_t array.
//  For classes also the class version is stored, for ROOT classes also the TStreamerInfo.
//
//  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
//  FairParamList
//
//  Class for the generic Oracle and ASCII interface for parameter containers
//  derived from HParCond
//
//  The class contains a list to stores objects of type FairParamObj
//  The list objects store the name, the value, the parameter type and some
//  additional information depending for the object type.
//
//  All add/addObject functions add an initialized parameter to the list for
//  writing. The functions create a new list element and copy the data into
//  this object.
//  Add functions:
//    1. accepted basic types: Int_t, Float_t, Double_t, UChar_t
//    2. accepted ROOT arrays: TArrayI, TArrayF, TArrayD, TArrayC
//    3. accepted string: Text_t*
//       This can be any text, for example also numbers in hexadecimal or
//       scientific format. The number of characters must be specified (default 1).
//  AddObject function:
//    Accepts classes derived from TObject.
//    The persistent data elements are streamed into an UChar_t array using the
//    class streamer. For ROOT classes, for example histograms, the ROOT streamer
//    info is stored in an additional binary array.
//
//  All fill/fillObject functions convert the data in the list element back
//  to the type of the parameter and copies them into the data element in the
//  initialization process.
//    1. Single parameters of basic type:
//       The functions return kFALSE, if the parameter is not in the list.
//    2. Arrays:
//      a) If the array size is specified (return code Bool_t), the functions return
//         kFALSE, if the number of data elements in the list objects is not the same.
//      b) If the array size is not specified (return code Int_t), the array is
//         recreated with the size of the number of data elements in the list object.
//         The functions return the number of data elements or 0, if the parameter
//         was not found.
//    3. Classes:
//       The class version is checked and a warning printed, if it is not identical
//       with the current version (typically class version of list object higher than
//       version in the actual parameter container). The class streamer takes care
//       for backward compatibility. A warning is printed, if the ROOT version is
//       different from the current version.
//       The function returns the number of bytes in the list object or 0, if the
//       parameter was not found in the list.
