Creating an Object Adapter

2 min read

You create an object adapter by calling createObjectAdapter on your communicator. For example:

C++

Ice::ObjectAdapterPtr adapter = communicator->createObjectAdapter(
    "GreeterAdapter");

Ice.ObjectAdapter adapter = communicator.createObjectAdapter("GreeterAdapter");

Java

ObjectAdapter adapter = communicator.createObjectAdapter("GreeterAdapter");

JavaScript

const adapter = await communicator.createObjectAdapter("GreeterAdapter");

Python

adapter = communicator.createObjectAdapter("GreeterAdapter")

Swift

let adapter = try communicator.createObjectAdapter("GreeterAdapter")

createObjectAdapter creates a new object adapter associated with this communicator. Each object adapter is associated with zero or more transport endpoints. Typically, an object adapter has a single transport endpoint.

An application normally needs to configure an object adapter with endpoints or a router. Calling createObjectAdapter with a non-empty value for name means the new object adapter will check the communicator's configuration for properties, using its name as prefix, including:

name.Endpoints - defines one or more object adapter endpoints
name.Router - specifies the stringified proxy of a router

If you want to create an object adapter and specify its endpoints in one shot, call createObjectAdapterWithEndpoints is on your communicator. For example:

C++

Ice::ObjectAdapterPtr adapter = communicator->createObjectAdapterWithEndpoints(
    "GreeterAdapter",
    "tcp -p 4061");

Ice.ObjectAdapter adapter = communicator.createObjectAdapterWithEndpoints(
    "GreeterAdapter",
    "tcp -p 4061");

Java

ObjectAdapter adapter = communicator.createObjectAdapterWithEndpoints(
    "GreeterAdapter",
    "tcp -p 4061");

Python

adapter = communicator.createObjectAdapterWithEndpoints(
    "GreeterAdapter",
    "tcp -p 4061");

Swift

let adapter = try communicator.createObjectAdapterWithEndpoints(
    name: "GreeterAdapter", endpoints: "tcp -p 4061")
