ObjectHandler Integration of a generic C++ library such as Quantlib into spreadsheets and other end user tools requires a standalone ObjectHandler component, a repository allowing objects to be stored, shared, updated, interrogated, and destroyed.

Overview

ObjectHandler provides the link between an object-oriented environment such as the QuantLib C++ analytics library, and a procedural environment such as a spreadsheet. For example, the spreadsheet user can invoke a formula in one cell to instantiate a zero curve object, this object persists in the ObjectHandler repository and may be passed as a parameter to a formula in another cell such as the constructor of a Bond.
