Greeter Example

In this example, we illustrate the basics of Ice by building a simple application with it. We’ll cover how to define operations using the Slice IDL, how to create a server that implements those operations, and finally, how to write a client which invokes those operations.

The application’s scope is small: a single server that receives names, and returns a greeting based on the provided name: “Hello, <name>!”. Even though this application is simple, it shows best practices, and provides a good model for starting any project with Ice!

A complete, working implementation of this example can be found on Github.
