Error in service implementation

[stephan]

Dear people at ZeroC,

When running my services on my Windows 2003/ XP/ NT machines and changing the current user, the service will be terminated. As this is quite uncommon for services, I'd like to ask you to change this behavior
Unfortunately I did not find no error in your current implementation, but I hope that you will be able to track it down successfully

kind regards,

Stephan

Hi Stephan,

Thanks for the bug report. This problem will be fixed in the next release. Please let me know if you'd like a temporary workaround.

Take care,

Hi Mark!

Please let me know if you'd like a temporary workaround.

Sure would I like to get the patch
btw: Do you already have a (approximate) date for the next release?

regs,

Edit the file src/Ice/Service.cpp and modify the ctrlCHandlerCallback function as shown below:

static void
ctrlCHandlerCallback(int sig)
{
#ifdef _WIN32
    if(sig == CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT)
    {
        return;
    }
#endif
    Ice::Service* service = Ice::Service::instance();
    assert(service != 0);
    service->handleInterrupt(sig);
}

Note that this is only a temporary workaround, as it only applies to Windows and always ignores CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT. We will provide a better solution in the next release.

btw: Do you already have a (approximate) date for the next release?

No, we haven't set a target date yet.

Take care,
- Mark
