The communicator operation propertyToProxy creates a proxy from a group of configuration properties (see
Section 32.2). The argument to
propertyToProxy is a string representing the base name of the property group. This name must correspond to a property that supplies the stringified form of the proxy. Subordinate properties can be defined to customize the proxy’s local configuration.
The communicator operation proxyToProperty performs the inverse operation, that is, returns the property group for a proxy.
A property with an application-specific name supplies the stringified representation of a proxy. The application uses the communicator operation
propertyToProxy to retrieve the property and convert it into a proxy (see
Section 32.11.1).
If num is a value greater than zero, the proxy is configured to use collocation invocations (see
Section 32.21) when possible. Defining this property is equivalent to invoking the
ice_collocationOptimized factory method, which is described in
Section 32.11.2.
If num is a value greater than zero, the proxy caches its chosen connection for use in subsequent requests. Defining this property is equivalent to invoking the
ice_connectionCached factory method (see
Section 32.11.2).
Specifies the proxy’s endpoint selection type. Legal values are Random and
Ordered. Defining this property is equivalent to invoking the
ice_endpointSelection factory method (see
Section 32.11.2).
If num is a value greater than zero, the proxy gives precedence to secure endpoints. If not defined, the proxy uses the value of
Ice.Default.PreferSecure.
