An IcePatch2 service hosts two well-known objects, which implement the IcePatch2::FileServer
and IcePatch2::Admin
interfaces and have the default identity IcePatch2/server
and IcePatch2/admin
, respectively. If an application requires the use of multiple IcePatch2 services, it is a good idea to assign unique identities to the well-known objects by configuring the servers with different values for the IcePatch2.InstanceName
property, as shown in the following example:
$ icepatch2server --IcePatch2.InstanceName=PublicFiles ...
This property changes the category of the objects' identities, which become PublicFiles/server
and PublicFiles/admin
, respectively. The client's configuration must also be changed to reflect the new identity:
$ icepatch2client --IcePatch2.Endpoints="tcp -h somehost.com \ > -p 10000" --IcePatch2.InstanceName=PublicFiles .
