examp6.cpp

This example is to show use of the Composite types and pattern.

In our scenario we have non-typed composites (other than the fact they are Equipment) and concrete equipment types (HardDrive, PowerSupply).

We could have created concrete composites (Bus, Case, etc.) and added semantics to them. For example, is it semantically correct for a Case to have a hard-drive, or a Bus to have a power-supply? We leave that to the curious.

We use the TransparentComponent to reduce the amount of type checking. This has its drawbacks as can be seen in the recursion function "dumpComposites".
