"out of bounds during unmarshaling" on ice_invoke() call (dynamic invocation)

kanisuka

Hi.

Recently, I'm making ice server-client application.

I has referred next url for making a client with dynamic Invocation.
(Dynamic Invocation and Dispatch in C++ - Ice 3.5 - ZeroC)

Ice Slice file is very simple.
and It is working fine without dynamic Invocation code.
(It was working fine when I call a rpc function directly via MockPrx.)
But When I launch dynamic allication client, below error message was occurred from gdb.

ERROR MESSAGE in GDB

Please refer below code which was made by me.
And It will be very helpful, if somebody let me know the solution for resolve this issue.

My Client Code (Pseudo)

---

char endPoint[256] = "Mock:" + server endPoint;
Ice::ObjectPrx object = arg.comm->stringToProxy(endPoint);

std::vector<Ice::Byte> inParams;
std::vector<Ice::Byte> outParams;

Ice::outputStreamPtr out = Ice::createOutputStream(arg.comm);
out->startEncapsulation();
out->writeInt(arg.delay);
out->endEncapsulation();
out->finished(inParams);

if(object->ice_invoke("waiter", Ice::Normal, inParams, outParams)) // This line make error
{
Ice::InputStreamPtr in = Ice::createInputStream(arg.comm, outParams);
int result = 0;
in->startEncapsulation();
result = in->readInt();
in->endEncapsulation();
}

Ice slice

//very simple

module Tester
{
interface Mock
{
int waiter(int sec);
};
}

Hi,

Your code looks correct. The fact that ice_invoke raises an UnknownLocalException means that the UnmarshalOutOfBoundsException occurs on the server side. Are you also using dynamic invocation in the server? If so, can you post that code?
