Incorporating everything we discussed previously, we can now configure and start IceBox servers.

On this page:

Starting the C++ IceBox Server

The configuration file for our example C++ service is shown below:

IceBox.Service.Hello=HelloService:create
Hello.Endpoints=tcp -p 10001

Notice that we define an endpoint for the object adapter created by the Hello service.

Assuming these properties reside in a configuration file named config, we can start the C++ IceBox server as follows:

$ icebox --Ice.Config=config

Additional command line options are supported, including those that allow the server to run as a Windows service or Unix daemon.

Starting the Java IceBox Server

Our Java configuration is nearly identical to the C++ version, except for the entry point specification:

IceBox.Service.Hello=HelloServiceI
Hello.Endpoints=tcp -p 10001

Notice that we define an endpoint for the object adapter created by the Hello service.

Assuming these properties reside in a configuration file named config, we can start the Java IceBox server as follows:

$ java IceBox.Server --Ice.Config=config

Starting the C# IceBox Server

The configuration file for our example C# service is shown below:

IceBox.Service.Hello=helloservice.dll:HelloService
Hello.Endpoints=tcp -p 10001

Notice that we define an endpoint for the object adapter created by the Hello service.

Assuming these properties reside in a configuration file named config, we can start the C# IceBox server as follows:

$ iceboxnet --Ice.Config=config

IceBox Server Failures

At startup, an IceBox server inspects its configuration for all properties having the prefix IceBox.Service and initializes each service. If initialization fails for a service, the IceBox server invokes the stop operation on any initialized services, reports an error, and terminates.
