How to disable Ice's reestablish-connection behavior ?

This is the requirement: If a proxy really established a connection to the server and then at some time the connection is broken, the proxy does not reestablish the connection in all later operation calls. Suppose we have configured: Ice.RetryIntervals=-1.

That is:

ObjectPrx proxy = ...;          //timeA: get a proxy at timeA
proxy.ping();                      //timeB: really establish the connection

...                                    //timeC: the connection is broken for some reason

proxy.ping();		//timeD: 
proxy.ping();		//timeE:
proxy.ping();		//timeF:

we want the operations at timeD/E/F all fail and don't try to reestablish a connection to the server.

You could use a fixed connection proxy:

ObjectPrx proxy = ...;          //timeA: get a proxy at timeA
proxy.ping();                      //timeB: really establish the connection

proxy = proxy.getConnection().createProxy(proxy.getIdentity());

...                                    //timeC: the connection is broken for some reason

proxy.ping();		//timeD: 
proxy.ping();		//timeE:
proxy.ping();		//timeF:

Great! Thank you!

By the way, it should be:

...
proxy = proxy.ice_getConnection().createProxy(proxy.ice_getIdentity());
...

I'm glad that I could help. As an aside, can you please update your signature with the name of your organization and the project you are working on? Please see this post for details.

Thank you, Marc. I like Ice very much and now just study and evaluate it(Ice for C++, Ice for Java, Ice for Python). Until now, I have no chance to put Ice into practical use because my company just uses corba and Tuxedo. It's a sorrow for me!
