Publishing to replicated IceStorms

[bigtim]

Hello again,

If I have replicated IceStorms, can I pick which Storm I am publishing to? I am currently grabbing the TopicPrx's via Ice::Query q->findAllReplicas( topicprx), but when I get the publisher it had the replicted signiture and it pushes to which ever one the IceGrid tells me to. I want to have one publish go to multiple IceStorms. So far I see that I can subscribe to a specific topic manager, but not publish.

Am I missing something?

Hi,

If you want the publisher proxy returned by Topic::getPublisher() to not be replicated, you should simply remove the replicaGroup attribute from Publish object adapter deployment descriptor. For example:

          <adapter name="${service}.Publish" endpoints="${publish-endpoints}"/>

Let us know if you need more information.

Cheers,
Benoit.

Would just publishing to the replica and then having the subscribers subscribe to all TopicManagers accomplish the same thing?

Yes, you don't really need to use replica groups if you always want to publish to a given IceStorm instance.

Cheers,
Benoit.

I guess what my real question is:

If I publish a heartbeat to the Replica Group, does it go to all Replicas ? And if it does not how do I make it go to all Replicas?

In my testing it seems like it does not. I would like to be able to have one publisher publish to a Replica Group and then have all of the clients get the data.
