Question about Glacier2

[davidcr1983]

Hello!!

I have seen in the examples of Glacier2 that always one of the arguments in the request from the client to the server is a proxy for a callback object in the client. Currently, I am using stringfied proxies for contact with an agent (this is my first application with Ice), and my question is if I can use the connection between the client (agent) and the server so that the server can use it to do a request to the client, that is, to create a bi-directional connection.

On the other hand, do you recommend me another way of doing this scenario? (Perhaps something similar to the callback example?)

Thank you.

I'm not sure if I really understand your question. Are you asking if you can use stringified proxies instead of regular proxies for callbacks? You certainly can, but it is not recommended. See:

http://www.zeroc.com/faq/passingProxies.html

Also, if you use Glacier2, you will always have a bi-directional connection from your client to Glacier2. Your client will not open a connection to your server directly, nor vice versa.

As an aside, you'll find many examples for how to use Glacier2 in various issues of our newsletter Connections.

Yes, that was my question. Thank for your answers, I will follow your advices.

Thank you again,
