ice_ids for proxies?

[Alexey Romanov]

In Java mapping, Ice.Object has two methods: ice_id and ice_ids. Ice.ObjectPrx also has ice_id, but ice_ids is not listed. Is there a reason for this? (It is available in IceLibrary.jar in version 3.3, which I currently use).

Also, does ice_ids necessarily return type IDs in some order (i.e. from the most specific type to "::Ice::Object" or vice versa?)

Hi Alexey,

Thanks for pointing out this omission in the Ice manual, we'll fix that.

The order of the entries in the sequence returned by ice_ids is not specified, so your code should not make any assumptions.

Thank you!

Another question: does ice_ids include IDs of facets?

No. Each invocation of ice_ids is directed at a particular facet of the object (the proxy must already be configured for the desired target facet).
