K.1 Chapter Overview

Note: As of version 3.4, Ice provides a new API for asynchronous method invocation (AMI). The mapping described in this appendix is the old AMI mapping, which is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Ice.

This chapter describes the deprecated asynchronous method invocation API. Section K.2 gives a brief overview of the capabilities and demonstrates how to modify Slice definitions to enable asynchronous support in language mappings. Section K.3 provides an introduction to the types and concepts used in the AMI mapping. Finally, Section K.4 presents the API for C++, Java, C#, and Python.
