Ice module name

[ganzuoni]

Hello,
it would nice to have the possibility to name "ice" a nested
module.
This slice def raise an error in slice2java (ice module name is reserved):

module service {
module ice {
......
};
};

Regards,
Guido.

Everything that starts with "ice" is not permissible as an identifier. This allows us to have our own internal namespaces and nested namespaces, for which there can be no name clashes.

Can't you just use "FrozenWater"?

Not bad

Well,
if you design a service in a layered manner, with the real impl that is
middleware independent, you could put CORBA access point,
Ice access point, SOAP access point around it (I know is'nt that easy,
but, at least, ease testing phase).
With this in mind, if your service is defined as:

com.mycompany.servicexx.spec for interface specification
com.mycompany.servicexx.impl for implementation

a module naming could be

com.mycompany.servicexx.ice.spec for ice generated
com.mycompany.servicexx.ice.impl for ice implementation

Maybe iceimpl module name works better
