Error during launching IceStorm

[Sameerrele]

I am evaluating Ice as an enterprise solution for service oriented architecture within our firm.

I am using JDK1.5 and Ice3.1

I am interested in getting IceStorm started. I understand that to do so I need to use IceBox.

My configuration parameters for IceBox are as follows :

IceBox.ServiceManager.Endpoints=tcp -p 9998
IceBox.Service.Hello=demo.HelloServiceI
Hello.Endpoints=tcp -p 10000
IceBox.Service.IceStorm=IceStormService,31:createI ceStorm --Ice.Config=icestorm.config


And icestorm.config looks like below
Freeze.DbEnv.IceStorm.DbHome=db
IceStorm.TopicManager.Endpoints=tcp -p 9999
IceStorm.Publish.Endpoints=tcp

Without IceStorm, IceBox works well (which indicates that ice.jar is in classpath).

However when I include IceStorm (as in the above scenario) I get the following error :
error: ServiceManager: class IceStormService,31:createIceStorm not found
IceBox.FailureException
reason = "ServiceManager: class IceStormService,31:createIceStorm not found"

I know I am missing something very trivial and any help from you would be appreciated.

Thanks

As an FYI :

I am starting IceBox using java IceBox.Server --Ice.Config=config_service

When I start IceBox using icebox.exe, it works !

Isnt icebox.exe equivalent to starting IceBox.Server?

Hi,

IceStorm is a C++ service, therefore you must use the C++ container (icebox.exe). The Java container (IceBox.Server) can only host Java services.

Take care,

Thank You,

That resolves the issue.

Any plans to make IceStorm a Java service?

[matthew]

This service typically requires high performance and as such Java isn't really a suitable implementation language. Why do you want a Java version?

However, if you wanted to sponsor such an effort please contact us at sales@zeroc.com.
