To run the demo, first start the IceGrid service:
$ icegridnode --Ice.Config=config.grid
Note that for debug Windows builds you will need to use icegridnoded rather than icegridnode as the executable name.
This demo contains two application descriptor files. The first descriptor, application-single.xml, contains a single server and object. This object is allocated by the client using the allocateObjectById operation. Only one client can access this object at a time. All other clients will hang until the object is released. Use the following command to deploy this descriptor:
$ icegridadmin --Ice.Config=config.grid -e
"application add 'application-single.xml'"
The second descriptor, application-multiple.xml, contains two servers, each with an object. The clients retrieve these objects using allocateObjectByType. Since there are two objects available, two clients can get access simultaneously. Additional clients will hang until one of the clients with an allocated object releases it. Use the following command to deploy this descriptor:
$ icegridadmin --Ice.Config=config.grid -e
"application add 'application-multiple.xml'"
To run the client type:
$ client
If you have already deployed the application, you can update it to try a different set of descriptors, for example:
$ icegridadmin --Ice.Config=config.grid -e
"application update 'application-multiple.xml'"
Messages will be displayed in the IceGrid service window.
