- ANIMAL
-
- DESCRIPTION:
- This sample displays attributes of animals via a graphical user
- interface.
-
- CONCEPT/FEATURE:
- This directory contains the source for a simple generic server
- which uses the SOM Object Adapter to automatically load class
- libraries and execute requests on objects instantiated in the server.
- The server will loop forever processing requests from clients.
- The directory also contains a sample client program that uses
- static bindings to invoke methods on remote objects. The client
- program creates and initializes several remote animals, invokes
- remote methods on the objects as directed by user input, and destroys
- the local proxy objects and remote animal objects when the program
- is terminated.
-
-
-
- HOW TO RUN THE SAMPLE FROM THE COMMAND LINE:
- The makefile in this directory will build a server executable, a client
- executable and a dynamically loadable library. They are:
-
- - testsvr.exe (the generic server)
-
- - anitest.exe (the DSOM client application)
-
- - danimal.dll (the library loaded by testsvr)
-
- To build the sample:
- "nmake -f vac.mak all".
-
- To clean the sample:
- "nmake -f vac.mak clean".
-
-
- RUNNING THE SAMPLE
- ------------------
- Kill "somdd" if it is already running.
- Execute "run.bat" to run the sample. It will start "somdd" and
- run the sample "anitest.exe".
-
- You may also wish to run the samples manually. First, remember
- that the DSOM daemon, "somdd", must be started from this
- directory before executing the sample. (See the readme.txt in
- %SOMBASE%\samples\somd for information on running somdd.)
-
- To run the sample, execute "anitest". (There will be a
- slight delay before the application's window appears, during which
- the client and server are initialized and the remote objects are
- created.) somdd will automatically start the server when the
- client program, "anitest" is started.
-
- Alternatively, you may start the server yourself by invoking
- "testsvr -a aniServer2". ("aniServer2" is the
- server's alias name used by the makefile when registering the server
- in the Implementation Repository using the "regimpl" registration
- utility.) After the server is started, run "anitest".
-
-
- HOW TO RUN THE PROJECT FROM WITHIN THE WORKFRAME ENVIRONMENT
- -Open the project "animal.iwp" in the sample directory.
- -Kill "somdd" if it is already running.
- -To make the project:
- from the "Project" menu, select "Make",
- or from the pop-up menu for the icon "vac.mak", select "Make"
- -Click the "Run" icon to run the sample.
- -From the command line or Project Monitor, "nmake -f vac.mak clean"
- to cleanup.
