session using std::wstring instead of std::string

Andrew

In my system I store all password and login with std::wstring type ,
so I want to use this type to create a Session on Glaicer2 .

It is possible to make a session using std::wstring like type for login and password instead of std::string ?

Hi Andrea,

As far as what goes "on the wire", using std::string or std::wstring in the C++ API makes no difference: Ice always encodes Slice strings as UTF-8 sequences.

So the simplest solution your C++ Glacier2 client is to build your own custom version of the Glacier2 C++ client API, i.e.:
- add the desired cpp:type:wstring metadata to slice/Glacier2/Router.ice
- "translate" Glacier2/Router.ice, Glacier2/Session.ice, Glacier2/SSLInfo.ice to C++ with slice2cpp
- build a library from the generated C++ code (e.g. Glacier2Tvblob32.dll), or incorporate this code directly into your application

Cheers,
Bernard
