Communicator from an object ?

Hi there,

Is it possible to access the communicator from the interface class ?

I have a class which inherits an interface :

class MyClassI : public MyClass {

void myMethod(void);

};

myMethod is not in the interface (it is custom/local to MyClassI).
I would like access to the communicator in myMethod(); so that I can create an adapter and so on.

This may not be the correct paradigm of operation, however I was going to test some ideas out.

The only way I can work out how to get access to the communicator is to manually store it in MyClassI when I am in the Ice::Application::run method :

Something like so :
Ice::Application::run(argc, argv){
MyClassI::storeCommunicator(CommunicatorPtr c){
communicator=c;
}
}

Is there a better way to get access to the communicator in the method MyClass::myMethod ?

thanks
Matt

    Hi Matt,

    You can access the communicator from a servant operation throw the Current object
    // Slice
module Demo
{

interface Hello
{
    void sayHello();
};

};

// C++

class HelloI : public Hello
{
public:

    void sayHello(const Ice::Current& c)
    {
        Ice::CommunicatorPtr ic = c.adapter->getCommunicator();
    }
};

    Or you can store a reference to the communicator when you create your servant.
    class HelloI : public Hello
{
public:

    HelloI(const Ice::CommunicatorPtr& ic) :
        _ic(ic)
    {
    }

private:

    Ice::CommunicatorPtr _ic;
};

class Server : public Ice::Application
{
public:

    virtual int run(int, char*[])
    {
        // ...
        adapter->add(new HelloI(communicator()), communicator()->stringToIdentity("hello"));
        // ...
    }
};
