Ice::ObjectAdapter
Overview
local interface ObjectAdapter
The object adapter provides an up-call interface from the Ice
run time to the implementation of Ice objects.
The object adapter is responsible for receiving requests
from endpoints, and for mapping between servants, identities, and
proxies.

- Communicator
Activate all endpoints that belong to this object adapter.
After activation, the object adapter can dispatch requests
received through its endpoints.
See Also
- hold
- deactivate
Temporarily hold receiving and dispatching requests. The object
adapter can be reactivated with the activate operation.
Holding is not immediate, i.e., after hold
returns, the object adapter might still be active for some
time. You can use waitForHold to wait until holding is
complete.
See Also
- activate
- deactivate
- waitForHold
Wait until the object adapter holds requests. Calling hold
initiates holding of requests, and waitForHold only returns
when holding of requests has been completed.
See Also
- hold
- waitForDeactivate
- Communicator::waitForShutdown
Deactivate all endpoints that belong to this object adapter.
After deactivation, the object adapter stops receiving
requests through its endpoints. Object adapters that have been
deactivated must not be reactivated again, and cannot be used
otherwise. Attempts to use a deactivated object adapter raise
ObjectAdapterDeactivatedException; however, attempts to
deactivate an already deactivated object adapter are
ignored and do nothing. Once deactivated, it is possible to
destroy the adapter to clean up resources and then create and
activate a new adapter with the same name.
After deactivate returns, no new requests
are processed by the object adapter. However, requests that
have been started before deactivate was called might
still be active. You can use waitForDeactivate to wait
for the completion of all requests for this object adapter.
See Also
- activate
- hold
- waitForDeactivate
- Communicator::shutdown
Wait until the object adapter has deactivated. Calling
deactivate initiates object adapter deactivation, and
waitForDeactivate only returns when deactivation has
been completed.
See Also
- deactivate
- waitForHold
- Communicator::waitForShutdown
Check whether object adapter has been deactivated.
Return Value
Whether adapter has been deactivated.
See Also
- Communicator::shutdown
Destroys the object adapter and cleans up all resources held by
the object adapter. If the object adapter has not yet been
deactivated, destroy implicitly initiates the deactivation
and waits for it to finish. Subsequent calls to destroy are
ignored. Once destroy has returned, it is possible to create
another object adapter with the same name.

- deactivate
- waitForDeactivate
- Communicator::destroy
Object* add(Object servant, Identity id)

void addDefaultServant(Object servant, string category)
Add a default servant to handle requests for a specific
category. Adding a default servant for a category for
which a default servant is already registered throws
AlreadyRegisteredException. To dispatch operation
calls on servants, the object adapter tries to find a servant
for a given Ice object identity and facet in the following
order:
- The object adapter tries to find a servant for the identity
and facet in the Active Servant Map.
- If no servant has been found in the Active Servant Map, the
object adapter tries to find a default servant for the category
component of the identity.
- If no servant has been found by any of the preceding steps,
the object adapter tries to find a default servant for an empty
category, regardless of the category contained in the identity.
- If no servant has been found by any of the preceding steps,
the object adapter gives up and the caller receives
ObjectNotExistException or FacetNotExistException.
Parameters
- servant
-
The default servant.
- category
-
The category for which the default servant is
registered. An empty category means it will handle all categories.
See Also
- removeDefaultServant
- findDefaultServant
Remove a servant (that is, the default facet) from the object
adapter's Active Servant Map.
Parameters
- id
-
The identity of the Ice object that is implemented by
the servant. If the servant implements multiple Ice objects,
remove has to be called for all those Ice objects.
Removing an identity that is not in the map throws
NotRegisteredException.
Return Value
The removed servant.
See Also
- Identity
- add
- addWithUUID
Like remove, but with a facet. Calling remove(id)
is equivalent to calling removeFacet with an empty facet.

- find
- findFacet
Add a Servant Locator to this object adapter. Adding a servant
locator for a category for which a servant locator is already
registered throws AlreadyRegisteredException. To dispatch
operation calls on servants, the object adapter tries to find a
servant for a given Ice object identity and facet in the
following order:
- The object adapter tries to find a servant for the identity
and facet in the Active Servant Map.
- If no servant has been found in the Active Servant Map,
the object adapter tries to find a servant locator for the
category component of the identity. If a locator is found, the
object adapter tries to find a servant using this locator.
- If no servant has been found by any of the preceding steps,
the object adapter tries to find a locator for an empty category,
regardless of the category contained in the identity. If a
locator is found, the object adapter tries to find a servant
using this locator.
- If no servant has been found by any of the preceding steps,
the object adapter gives up and the caller receives
ObjectNotExistException or FacetNotExistException.
Only one locator for the empty category can be
installed.
Parameters
- locator
-
The locator to add.
- category
-
The category for which the Servant Locator can
locate servants, or an empty string if the Servant Locator does
not belong to any specific category.
See Also

Create a proxy for the object with the given identity. If this
object adapter is configured with an adapter id, the return
value is an indirect proxy that refers to the adapter id. If
a replica group id is also defined, the return value is an
indirect proxy that refers to the replica group id. Otherwise,
if no adapter id is defined, the return value is a direct
proxy containing this object adapter's published endpoints.
Parameters
- id
-
The object's identity.
Return Value
A proxy for the object with the given identity.
See Also
- Identity
Create a direct proxy for the object with the given identity.
The returned proxy contains this object adapter's published
endpoints.
Parameters
- id
-
The object's identity.
Return Value
A proxy for the object with the given identity.
See Also
- Identity
Create an indirect proxy for the object with the given identity.
If this object adapter is configured with an adapter id, the
return value refers to the adapter id. Otherwise, the return
value contains only the object identity.

Set an Ice locator for this object adapter. By doing so, the
object adapter will register itself with the locator registry
when it is activated for the first time. Furthermore, the proxies
created by this object adapter will contain the adapter name
instead of its endpoints.
Parameters

Refresh the set of published endpoints. The run time re-reads
the PublishedEndpoints property if it is set and re-reads the
list of local interfaces if the adapter is configured to listen
on all endpoints. This operation is useful to refresh the endpoint
information that is published in the proxies that are created by
an object adapter if the network interfaces used by a host changes.
Get the set of endpoints configured with this object adapter.
Return Value
The set of endpoints.
See Also
- Endpoint
Get the set of endpoints that proxies created by this object
adapter will contain.
Return Value
