Re: How to serialize named tuples (C#)?
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;

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

Re: 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!

Re: NodeJS server-side app: Ice::FeatureNotSupportedException "object adapter endpoints not supported"
Hi Jose David,
Various enhancements to Ice were sponsored by our customers. For example, ETAS sponsored both the MATLAB language mapping and the Doxygen support for Slice. Thanks ETAS!
In practice, it means we work with a customer to define what they need, research the work required, and then the sponsor/customer funds the development of this enhancement. To get started, the best is to contact us by email at [email protected]
Best regards,

Re: Help To Integrate Ice Into A Complicated Architecture
With Glacier2, you don't necessarily need to go through the backend server for Ice invocations. Your JavaScript client could directly invoke the Game instance server by going through Glacier2 without having to go through the backend server. Glacier2 will only listen on a single port so this means you would have to expose only two ports to clients: the Glacier2 port and the backend server port.
It's hard to provide specific advice without knowing more about your architecture. In general, using Glacier2 will be simpler when a client has to communicate with multiple servers: it creates a session with Glacier2 and invocations from the clients will be routed to the different servers deployed behind Glacier2 by the Glacier2 router.
Using bi-dir directly is fine as well for simple client-server communications. It gets more complicated if the client has to talk to multiple servers as you will need to implement some kind of routing for requests if you want the client to only connect to a single server instance.
