Locator Configuration for a Client

An Ice client application must supply a proxy for the locator object, which it can do in several ways:

by explicitly configuring an indirect proxy using the ice_locator proxy method
by calling setDefaultLocator on a communicator, after which all new proxies use the given locator by default
by defining the Ice.Default.Locator configuration property, which causes all proxies to use the given locator by default

The Ice run time's efforts to resolve an indirect proxy can be traced by setting the following configuration properties:

Ice.Trace.Network=2
Ice.Trace.Protocol=1
Ice.Trace.Locator=2

See Ice Trace Properties for more information on these properties.
