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 ToString on this proxy. For example:
C#
GreeterPrx greeter = GreeterPrxHelper.createProxy(
communicator,
"greeter:tcp -h localhost -p 4061");
string s = greeter.ToString();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:
C#
GreeterPrx greeter =
GreeterPrxHelper.createProxy(communicator, "greeter:tcp -h localhost -p 4061");
Dictionary<string, string> 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.
