Ice.ObjectNotExistException while using findObjectByType

[Sivaprakash]

Ice.ObjectNotExistException is thrown while printing the ice_id of the object proxy in the following code fragment.(This exception is thrown when any of the method from that proxy is called.) It works fine when the locator and endpoint are used to obtain the proxy instance.
Following is the code that is querying the object proxy.

Ice.ObjectPrx proxy = notifier.communicator.stringToProxy("IceGrid/Query");
IceGrid.QueryPrx query = IceGrid.QueryPrxHelper.checkedCast(proxy);
ObjectPrx objProxy = query.findObjectByType("::fca::search::agent::Matr ixSearchICE");
System.out.println(objProxy.ice_id());

Please let me know what am I missing here. Let me know if you need anymore info.

Following is the stack trace.
Ice.ObjectNotExistException

Here is the fragment from the deployment descriptor.

Is the object registered on the correct object adapter? If you turn on network tracing (or protocol tracing) does the invocation go to an appropriate server and endpoint?

[Sivaprakash]

I enabled the network as well as protocol trace. I wrote two sample clients to obtain the object proxy. One is using findObjectByType and the other is the usual way of getting it. I am using the same communicator instance for both.
Thank you for your patience to scroll down the trace.

Using findObjectByType (Exception is thrown)
....
Ice.ObjectPrx proxy = communicator.stringToProxy("IceGrid/Query");
IceGrid.QueryPrx query = IceGrid.QueryPrxHelper.checkedCast(proxy);
ObjectPrx objProxy = query.findObjectByType("::fca::search::agent::Matr ixSearchAgentICE");
System.out.println(objProxy.ice_id());

Trace for the above code. (Exception is thrown.)

Usual way of obtaining the object proxy (Works fine.)
ObjectPrx objProxy = communicator.stringToProxy("CubeSearch@theCubeSear chAdapter");
System.out.println("***** ID : " +objProxy.ice_id() + "******");

Hi,

As indicated in the Ice.ObjectNotExistException, the identity of the proxy returned by findObjectByType is "tg-dxsearch1.SearchServer".

This identity is different from the identity that you're using in your stringToProxy call: "CubeSearch@theCubeSearchAdapter", here, the identity is "CubeSearch".

So, I assume the first identity is incorrect since it works when you create the proxy with the communicator. Shouldn't you set the identity in the object descriptor to "CubeSearch" instead of "${id}"?

That is:

<object identity="CubeSearch" type= "::fca::search::agent::MatrixSearchICE" />

The identity here should be set to the same value as the one used in the server to register the object with the object adapter.

Let us know if this doesn't solve your problem!

Cheers,
Benoit.
