FAQ contains incorrect code?

[oliverk]

I looked at the FAQ: "How can a server get the IP address of the caller"

I'm using the latest 3.4. Here is what it lists:

> Ice::ConnectionInfo info = c.con->getInfo();

getInfo() does not return Ice::ConnectionInfo ?

> Ice::TCPConnectionInfo tcpInfo =
> Ice::TCPConnectionInfo::dynamicCast(c.con);

There is no TCPConnectionInfo and no dynamicCast?

if(ipInfo)
{
...

Where is ipInfo defined?

Please explain what I'm missing.

Thanks,

Hi Oliver,

Welcome to the forum!

There are a few bugs in that example code, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I've fixed the FAQ, and here's what the code should have been:

    if(c.con)
    {
        Ice::ConnectionInfoPtr info = c.con->getInfo();
        Ice::TCPConnectionInfoPtr tcpInfo =
            Ice::TCPConnectionInfoPtr::dynamicCast(info);
        if(tcpInfo)
        {
            cout << "local address = " << tcpInfo->localAddress << ":"
                 << tcpInfo->localPort << endl;
            cout << "remote address = " << tcpInfo->remoteAddress << ":"
                 << tcpInfo->remotePort << endl;
        }
    }

I've verified that this compiles.

Let us know if you still have questions.
