hi,

i have question regarding including the ice files.

suppose i have a ice file... a.ice

module X {
module Y {
interface Z {
void doSomething(int x, int y);
};
};
};

and if i have a ice file b.ice in the same directory:

#include "a.ice"

module D {
module E {
interface F implements ::X::Y::Z {
void doSomething(int x, int y);
};
};
};


this does not work.

how do i include a sice file into another sice file

    The Ice include path

    and one more note on that,

    if i do slice2py, it compiles.
    and it does not work when i do Ice.loadSlice(path_to_icefile).

    thanks,

    Hi,

    If Ice.loadSlice call is failing, could you cut and paste the error you're seeing when you run the python script? Note that you might need to specify the --all option when loading your Ice file (unless you have already generated definitions for the a.ice included file). For example:
      Ice.loadSlice("--all file.ice")

    The ice include path

    hi here is the complete description of the problem:

    i have a ice file called category.ice in /opt/prh/prhPC/ice/prhice/ directory.
    in the same directory i have another file called utils.ice, which contains common code that would be present in all the ice files.

    so i do,

    #include "utils.ice" in all the files, so that i could use that common method getRowCount() every ice module without having to rewrite many times.

    but when i do a Ice.loadSlice("--all /opt/prh/....") , I get the following error.



    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "categoryclient.py", line 6, in ?
    Ice.loadTraceback (most recent call last):
    File "categoryclient.py", line 6, in ?
    Ice.loadSlice('/opt/prh/prhPC/ice/prhice/category.ice')
    File "/opt/prh/prhPC/ice/prhice/category.ice", line 3, in ?

    ImportError: No module named _opt_prh_prhPC_ice_prhice_utils_ice
    Slice('/opt/prh/prhPC/ice/prhice/category.ice')
    File "/opt/prh/prhPC/ice/prhice/category.ice", line 3, in ?

    It looks like Ice.loadSlice is not properly handling files included with #include "" (instead of #include <>). You should be able to work around this problem by using the following command instead:
       Ice.loadSlice("--all -I/opt/prh/prhPC/ice/prhice /opt/prh/prhPC/ice/prhice/category.ice")

    As Benoit mentioned, you need to include the '--all' option, otherwise the extension expects to find a statically-generated module for utils.ice (see section 22.15 in the manual).

    Take care,
