IceBox hosting java services in IceGrid

[Sameerrele]

Ice-Experts,

I would appreciate if you can give an example of configuring IceGrid with IceBox which hosts multiple Java Ice services.

Thanks

I have tried following

<icegrid>
<application name="JIB">
<node name="localhost">
<icebox
id="JavaIceBox"
exe="icebox"
activation="on-demand">

<service name="Hello2" entry="demo.HelloServiceI">
<adapter name="${service}" endpoints="tcp" register-process="true">
<object
identity="hello2"
type="::Demo::Hello"/>
</adapter>
<property name="Identity" value="hello2"/>
</service>
</icebox>
</node>
</application>
</icegrid>

And I get the error following error
[ icegridnode: Activator: activating server `JavaIceBox' ]
JavaIceBox: error: ServiceManager: unable to load entry point `demo.HelloService
I': invalid entry point format `demo.HelloServiceI'
[ icegridnode: Activator: detected termination of server `JavaIceBox'
exit code = 1 ]

If I try

<icegrid>
<application name="JIB">
<node name="localhost">
<icebox
id="JavaIceBox"
exe="java"
activation="on-demand">

<service name="Hello2" entry="demo.HelloServiceI">
<adapter name="${service}" endpoints="tcp" register-process="true">
<object
identity="hello2"
type="::Demo::Hello"/>
</adapter>
<property name="Identity" value="hello2"/>
</service>
</icebox>
</node>
</application>
</icegrid>

[ icegridnode: Activator: activating server `JavaIceBox' ]
Unrecognized option: --Ice.Config=c:\Ice-3.1.0\demoj\IceGrid\simple/db/node/serv
ers/JavaIceBox/config/config
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
[ icegridnode: Activator: detected termination of server `JavaIceBox'
exit code = 1 ]

Your help is appreciated

Thanks

Hi Sameer,

You want IceGrid to start a Java icebox, i.e. "java IceBox.Server ...". So use exe="java" and later <option>IceBox.Server</option>.

Best regards,
Bernard

Thanks Bernard,

<option> worked ! I could start IceBox server.

Is there an XSD for IceGrid? Where can I see different elements/attributes within all XMLs used in the framework?

Hi,

No, we don't have a XSD for IceGrid descriptors. There's a complete reference of the XML IceGrid descriptors in our manual (section 36.14). You'll also find a section about IceBox integration in the IceGrid chapter.

Cheers,
Benoit.
