Converting Proxies to Strings
This page describes how an application can stringify a proxy and create a property dictionary that captures all the proxy's properties.
Stringifying a Proxy
You can stringify a proxy by calling ice_toString on this proxy. For example:
PHP
$greeter = GreeterPrxHelper::createProxy(
$communicator,
"greeter:tcp -h localhost -p 4061");
$s = $greeter.ice_toString();ice_toString stringifies non-printable ASCII characters and non-ASCII characters in the proxy's identity, facet and object adapter ID as specified through the Ice.ToStringMode property.
Proxy To Property
You can also perform a deeper proxy stringification by calling proxyToProperty on your communicator. For example:
PHP
$greeter = GreeterPrxHelper::createProxy(
$communicator,
“greeter:tcp -h localhost -p 4061”);
$propertyDict = $communicator->proxyToProperty($greeter, “Greeter”);The resulting map or dictionary holds all the proxy properties for the supplied proxy. The second parameter of propertyToProxy is the base name for the properties in the returned map.
