For +example, a particular process may need to act in both the role of +client and server. This interaction is common in situations where the +process makes a twoway invocation on a remote servant, passing a local +object reference 'o' to that servant. In the process of servicing +that invocation, the servant makes a twoway invocation on 'o'. + +This example illustrates an interaction that should be familiar to +anyone who's used ACE: the process of registering a handler with a +Reactor. The EventHandler is the local object reference, and the +Reactor the remote servant. NOTE: This example in no way should be +construed as testimony that remote Reactors make sense or are in any +way useful. It is merely a motivating example! + +You can either run the server in the background in the same window as +the client or open a separate window for the client and server. + +The client and server by default make use of the Naming Service. The +cubit server now has its own NamingServer implementation and hence you +don't have to start the NamingService before starting the client and +server. + + You just have to use the -s flags on both the server and +client if you don't want to use the naming service. + + EXECUTION + ========= + +server: +------- + +% server [-d] [-o <ior_output_file>] + +Options: +------- +-d Debug flag (It is additive more -d flags will give debugging). + +-o Outputs the ior file to the file + +Using -d turns on debugging messages. It is additive, i.e., the more +-d options provided, the more debugging you can get. At the moment, +only 2 levels of debugging are implemented, and more than 2 -d options +are ignored. + + +client: +------- + +% client [-d] [-x] <-k ior | file://<ior_file>> -n <iterations> + +Options: +------- + d Debug flag + x Tells the server to shutdown. + k Reads the ior from commandline + + There are 3 ways of giving the IOR to the client: + + 1. From a file using the -f option. (This file can be produced using + the -o option of the server.) + + 2. Directly on the commandline using the -k option. + + 3.
