Each indirect object adapter registered with IceGrid requires its own Adapter descriptor. If you need to specify a direct adapter, simply create a number of Ice properties in your server.

The Adapter Properties panel offers the following fields:

  • Adapter Name The name of the object adapter. This name must be unique within the enclosing Ice communicator, and is only used to lookup adapter properties.
  • Description A free-text description of this object adapter.
  • Adapter ID The ID of the object adapter. This ID must be unique within an IceGrid deployment. Default value: ${server}.adapter-name.
  • Replica Group The ID of this adapter's Replica Group. By default, an adapter does not belong to any replica group.
  • Priority The adapter priority in its Replica Group. The default priority is 0.
  • Endpoints The configured endpoints for this object adapter. Corresponds to the adapter-name.Endpoints property. Default: default, which means listen using the default protocol (tcp by default) on an OS assigned port, on all interfaces.
  • Published Endpoints The configured published endpoints for this object adapter. Corresponds to the adapter-name.PublishedEndpoints property. Default: actual endpoints (computed at run time), derived by Ice from the Endpoints field above.
  • Proxy Options The default Proxy Options for well-known objects defined within this object adapter, and the Proxy Options for proxies created by this object adapter. Corresponds to the adapter-name.ProxyEndpoints property. Default: empty string.
  • Server Lifetime When checked, IceGrid expects this adapter to register its endpoints during server startup and unregister them during server shutdown. See also Activation Timeout in Server Properties. Default: true (checked).
  • Well-known Objects A table of well-known objects defined by this adapter. When Property is set, IceGrid generates a property with this name and with Identity as value.
  • Allocatable Objects A table of allocatable objects defined by this adapter. When Property is set, IceGrid generates a property with this name and with Identity as value.
