about create topic

hi,zeroc staff.When I use IceStorm service to subscribe/pulish topic,I find an interesting question.Can the subscriber be in charge of creating the topics?
I tried to implement this idea,but failed.Maybe there is something wrong with my program.Hope your advice.If necessary,I will post my codes here.
Best regards!

Hi,

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your question. The subscriber can take care of the topic creation if it has access to the IceStorm topic manager object. What failed with your program?

Cheers,
Benoit.

Thanks for your reply.At first I implemented the example(weather monitor) discripted in the ice decument.It works ok.Then I changed the moniter.ice and add an interface for subscriber to realize creating topics.And also I rewrite the subscribe.cpp which implemented the method to create a topic -weather.Then recompiled them and ok.But when I excute icebox,./publiisher and ./subscriber,the subscriber could not receive anything.But there is no error message and exception.I dont know why?
Regards!

I'm sorry, but from that description I also don't know why If you want help you have to give much more information. I would guess that you are publishing to one topic and subscribing, or something similar.
