The Slice Language

4.1 Chapter Overview

In this chapter we present the Slice language. We start by discussing the role and purpose of Slice, explaining how language-independent specifications are compiled for particular implementation languages to create actual implementa­tions. Sections 4.10 and 4.11 cover the core Slice concepts of interfaces, opera­tions, exceptions, and inheritance. These concepts have profound influence on the behavior of a distributed system and should be read in detail.
This chapter also presents slice2docbook, which you can use to automate generation of documentation for Slice definitions.
