Success, thanks for the help!

You should take a look at Matthew's article on file transfer in issue 20 of the newsletter.

Hi Mike,

Ice cannot directly send your named tuples, you have to use types defined in Slice, here you can probably use a couple of structs and sequences like in:

struct BenchmarkCount
{
    long Data; // Send date as a long
    int Count;
}

sequence<BenchmarkCount> BenchmarkCountSeq; 

struct BenchmarkInfo
{
    string Key;
    int Benchmark;
    BenchmarkCountSeq Counters;
}

sequence<BenchmarkInfo> BenchmarkInfoSeq;

I'm glad you get it working

Hi Jose,

Great news, it doesn't crash anymore !

Thanks to the settings /D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0601 and /DWINVER=0x0601 ... and big thanks to you !

I can continue now testing our app with the new ice 3.7 ...

Have a good day

Mehdi

By the way if you can create a small test case than allow us to reproduce the problem I'm will be happy to look at it.

Maven slice2java plugin

1. I've downloaded ice jars from zeroc.com :
we need only: ant-ice-3.4.2.jar, Ice-3.4.2.jar.

2. Add jars to my local maven repository:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=ant-ice-3.4.2.jar -DgroupId=com.zeroc -DartifactId=ant-ice -Dversion=3.4.2 -Dpackaging=jar
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=Ice-3.4.2.jar -DgroupId=com.zeroc -DartifactId=ice -Dversion=3.4.2 -Dpackaging=jar -Dsources=Ice-3.4.2.jar

3. Create pom.xml using ant-run plugin to run slice2java:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

* I added "ice.include.path" property because I'm using #include <BuiltinSequences.ice> in my *.ice definitions
** build-helper-maven-plugin add generated sources to compile process

Hope it will help you!
