There are two directories -- client and server, which test -the client and server, respectively. In addition, these tests -illustrate how to use the ACE Service_Config mechanism, which enables -the client and server code to be dynamically linked into the process -at installation-time or run-time! - -The client test is an application that allows the user to vary the -test parameters through the following menu driven interface: - - Name Service Main Menu - ---------------------- - *** Using Process Local Database *** - -<P> Use Process Local Database -<N> Use Node Local Database -<H> Set Remote Name server <host> and <port> - -<B> Bind <key> <value> [<type>] -<U> Unbind <key> -<R> Rebind <key> <value> [<type>] -<F> Find <key> -<J> Lookup keys matching <pattern> -<K> Lookup values matching <pattern> -<L> Lookup types matching <pattern> -<C> Complete lookup keys matching <pattern> -<D> Complete lookup values matching <pattern> -<E> Complete lookup types matching <pattern> - -<Q> or ^C (exit) - -Initially, the user can select the type of database -- process local, -node local, or net local -- from the menu. - -<P> uses the process local database (i.e., the database is called the - same name as the process and stored in /tmp). -<N> uses the node local database (which defaults to /tmp/localnames). -<H> uses the net local database by specifying host and port number (by - default this is stored in a file called /tmp/globalnames on the server). - -The user can then create new bindings, delete existing bindings, or -rebind bindings: - -<B> Bind <key> <value> [<type>] - -- binds the key to the value and adds the - binding to the database. Note that type - information is optional. -<U> Unbind <key> -- unbind a binding whose key is <key> -<R> Rebind <key> <value> [<type>] - -- rebind <key> to <value>. Once again <type> is optional. -<F> Find <key> -- find the binding associated with key <key> -<Q> or ^C (exit) -- exit gracefully, saving the contents of the - Name Server in persistent shared memory. - -In addition, the user can do pattern matching for keys, values, and -types. Note that pattern matching is supported using regular expressions. - -<J> Lookup keys matching <pattern> - -- find all keys that match <pattern> -<K> Lookup values matching <pattern> - -- find all values that match <pattern> -<L> Lookup types matching <pattern> - -- find all types that match <pattern> - -<C> Complete lookup keys matching <pattern> - -- find all bindings whose keys match <pattern> -<D> Complete lookup values matching <pattern> - -- find all bindings whose values match <pattern> -<E> Complete lookup types matching <pattern> - -- find all bindings whose types match <pattern> - -------------------------- -Running the tests: - -Both the client and the server test programs use DLL supported by -svc.conf which allows them to configure the client-side and the -server-side (respectively) dynamically. The client test program -accomplishes this by making use of a Singleton proxy object -(Name_Service) to provide an interface to the client-side. - -The test programs rely on svc.conf to provide the necessary parameters -for dynamically linking the Name Service library and then -executing. In the absence of svc.conf, the test programs would use -static binding. - -client: - -The client test can be started without any parameters. However, if the -user wants to use the net local database, the hostname and the port -number of the server containing the net local database can be given at -"command line" in the svc.conf file, e.g.: - -dynamic ACE_Naming_Context Service_Object * libACE.so:_make_ACE_Naming_Context () - "main -h tango.cs -p 7891" -dynamic Name_Server_test Service_Object * .shobj/Client_Test.so:_make_Client_Test () "" - -The above example starts the client test application and sets up a -connection to port 7891 to a Name Server running on tango.cs, which -has the net local database. The Client_Test directive must come after -ACE_Naming_Context since it relies on the ACE_Naming_Context having -been dynamically linked. - -Note that you can also use environment variables in the "command -line", as follows: - -dynamic ACE_Naming_Context Service_Object * libACE.so:_make_ACE_Naming_Context () - "main -s $DB -p $PORT -h tango" -dynamic Name_Server_test Service_Object * .shobj/Client_Test.so:_make_Client_Test () "" - -In this example, $DB and $PORT are environment variables that are -automatically interpreted and substituted by ACE. In addition, note -how you can give a relative name for the libACE_svcs.so and ACE will -locate this for you automatically by reading your LD search path. - -server: - -The name server is needed only in the case where the net local -database needs to be accessed. The server test needs to run on the -machine that contains the net local database. To execute the server -test, the user has to specify the port number at which the server will -be listening in the svc.conf file. An implementation of a name -service for ACE is available in the $WRAPPER_ROOT/netsvcs/bin -directory. Please see the README file there for an explanation of how -to run the server. |
