Creating dynamically loadable modules

[g00fy]

Hi all,


I am currently using Windows, so this question is - for the moment - Windows oriented.

I want to make a program which - based upon some configuration settings (aka properties) - will be able to load DLL's and more specifically, load servants from those DLLs.

What I want to achieve is to create for example:

interface MyTest
{
  nonmutating string saySomething();
};

Now in DLL1 I want it to implement to say "Hi from DLL1", in DLL2 I want it to say like "You didn't like it in 1 ha?".


I know it's a little difficult to change this while the server is running, but that's not an issue. I want to be able to call a servant from some DLL which is pre-configured.

Can someone get me some pointers where I can find more information about this?

Thanks !

This is how we load the SSL plug-in, and IceBox services. In C++ you can look at the implementation to find out how it works. I suggest starting with src/Ice/DynamicLibrary.cpp.
