stramge error when adding [["java:package:com.ractoc"]]

[ractoc]

Hello,

I have a working slice file:

module com {
	module ractoc {
		module test {
			enum FUNCTION { COMBAT, MOVEMENT, MARKET };
			
			class FunctionMessage {
				FUNCTION funct;
			};
			
			class SectorMessage extends FunctionMessage {
				int sectorId;
			};
			
			class MovementMessage extends SectorMessage {
				int speed;
			};
			
			interface MessageTest {
				void sendMessage(FunctionMessage msg);
			};
		};
	};
};

This slice file works like a charm, and my client send the message, which is received by the server as intended.

Hoever, I don't like all those nested modules just to setup my java package. After digging around the docs a bit, I discovered

[["java:package:com.ractoc"]]

And decided to change my slice to the following:

[["java:package:com.ractoc"]]
module test {
	enum FUNCTION { COMBAT, MOVEMENT, MARKET };
	
	class FunctionMessage {
		FUNCTION funct;
	};
	
	class SectorMessage extends FunctionMessage {
		int sectorId;
	};
	
	class MovementMessage extends SectorMessage {
		int speed;
	};
	
	interface MessageTest {
		void sendMessage(FunctionMessage msg);
	};
};

However, now I'm getting the following error:

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this and if I need to change other things besides just adding that meta-tag?

Great, thanks. Adding the following line to the top of my server run method fixed it:

communicator().getProperties().setProperty("Ice.Default.Package", "com.ractoc");
