Ice.Plugin.name=entry_point [args] |
Defines a plugin to be installed during communicator initialization.
Platform Notes
The value of entry_point has the form basename[,version]:function. The basename and optional version components are used to construct the name of a DLL or shared library. If no version is supplied, the Ice version is used. The function component is the name of a function with C linkage. For example, the entry point MyPlugin,3.1:create would imply a shared library name of libMyPlugin.so.3.1 on Unix and MyPlugin31.dll on Windows. Furthermore, if Ice is built on Windows with debugging, a d is automatically appended to the version (e.g., MyPlugin31d.dll).
The value of entry_point is the name of a class that must implement the Ice.PluginFactory interface. Any arguments that follow the class name are passed to the create method.
The value of entry_point has the form assembly:class. The assembly can be the full assembly name, such as myplugin, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, or an assembly DLL name such as myplugin.dll. The specified class must implement the Ice.PluginFactory interface. Any arguments that follow the class name are passed to the create method.
Ice.PluginLoadOrder=names |
Determines the order in which plugins are loaded. The Ice run time loads the plugins in the order they appear in names, where each plugin name is separated by a comma or whitespace. Any plugins not mentioned in names are loaded afterward, in an undefined order.
Ice.InitPlugins=num |
If num is a value greater than zero, the Ice run time automatically initializes the plugins it has loaded. The order in which plugins are loaded and initialized is determined by Ice.PluginLoadOrder. An application may need to set this property to zero in order to interact directly with a plugin after it has been loaded but before it is initialized. In this case, the application must invoke initializePlugins on the plugin manager to complete the initialization process. If not defined, the default value is 1.
