Class Ice.ICE

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----Ice.ICE

public final class ICE
extends Object

The ICE Class is only needed as a Java-Replacement of ICE's include/ice.h

It is used (in copies) by the Ice-Java-Server and Client

This class is automatic generated from its corresponding C-header files to keep this class consistent to ICE and including machine dependend settings which concern the ICE-server. The ICE-Java interface istself is (or at least should be) machine independend more or less as all ICE-Interfaces.

This class contains a number of public static variables which should be used for message tags, channel flags, and configuration settings. Using their values direct is unsecure since they could change (if they change in ICE).

There are also some static method which return information about the used ICE-server release and this interface release.

Author:: Volker Weber

ANY: Give me any message tag (only for receive methods) (message tag)
ANYCHAN: Listen to any channel (channel flag)
BASE: Base channel (channel flag)
BlockDel: Block deletion (configuration switch)
BlockSend: Block sending (configuration switch)
Client: Setup as client (iVal (port != 0) and sVal (host != null) possible)
Note: This configure needs to be set before ICE.Init()
CMPTAG: listen to any tag for a distinct component (message tag)
ErrIgnore: Ignore Errors (configuration switch)
IlsGroup: Set ILS group (configuration switch; requires sVal)
NoBlockDel: No Block deletion (configuration switch)
NoBlockSend: No Block sending (configuration switch)
NONE: The nonexisting message tag (message tag)
NORMAL: Normal channel (channel flag)
NOTAG: No tag (used for additional channels) (message tag)
RAW: Fast channel (no XDR) (channel flag)
Server: Setup as server (iVal (port != 0) possible)
Note: This configure needs to be set before ICE.Init()
SYNCH: Synchronized channel (channel flag)
TOKEN: Tokenized channel (channel flag)

Configure(int, int, String): This method is used to change several configuration options that affect the operation of ICE (Configure(...)).
