Query hostname based on connection information

vishreddyk

Hi,

Ice 3.5.1

Configuration:
XYZ.Proxy=XYZ:tcp -h localhost -p 10000

At runtime from the client, what is best way to get the "just" the hostname (not the ip address) and port?

Regards,
Vishwa

Hi,

In C++, you would do something along those lines to print out the host/port specified in the proxy endpoint:

// C++
Ice::ObjectPrx proxy = communicator->propertyToProxy("XYZ.Proxy");
Ice::EndpointSeq seq = proxy->ice_getEndpoints();
if(!seq.empty())
{
     Ice::EndpointInfoPtr info = seq[0]->getInfo();
     Ice::IPEndpointInfoPtr ipInfo = Ice::IPEndpointInfoPtr::dynamicCast(info)
     std::cout << "host = " << ipInfo->host << ", port = " << ipInfo->port << std::endl;
}

Cheers,
Benoit.

What would be the C# version? Not sure what is construct to use for dynamiccast in C#.

Thanks

In C# you just use a normal cast

Ice.ObjectPrx proxy = communicator.propertyToProxy("XYZ.Proxy");
Ice.Endpoint[] seq = proxy.ice_getEndpoints();
if(seq.Length > 0)
{
     Ice.EndpointInfo info = seq[0].getInfo();
     Ice.IPEndpointInfo ipInfo = (Ice.IPEndpointInfo)info;
     WriteLine("host = " + ipInfo.host + ", port = " + ipInfo.port.ToString());
}
