[opendds-devel] messenger using simple multicast

[Aaron R. <aar...@gm...>]

Hello,

I have modified the messenger cpp example to the the transport configuration
manual as such:

   // Initialize and attach Transport
    OpenDDS::DCPS::TransportIdType transportId = 0;
    std::string multicastAddress = "238.1.1.1";
    OpenDDS::DCPS::TransportConfiguration_rch transport_cfg;

    //TODO: build tcp, udp, reliable_mcast based up input. Maybe look at IP
address
    //      to determine mcast if UDP?

   //build configuration
    transport_cfg =
      TheTransportFactory->create_configuration(transportId,
                                                 ACE_TEXT("SimpleMcast"));

    //cast to proper config
    OpenDDS::DCPS::SimpleMcastConfiguration* smcast_config
    = static_cast <OpenDDS::DCPS::SimpleMcastConfiguration*> (
transport_cfg.in ());

    //set multicast values
    //TODO: set local address to force nic card. Right now rely on system
routing
    smcast_config->multicast_group_address_ = ACE_INET_Addr
(multicastAddress.c_str ());
    smcast_config->receiver_ = true;

    OpenDDS::DCPS::TransportImpl_rch transport_impl =
      TheTransportFactory->create_transport_impl(transportId,
                                                 ACE_TEXT("SimpleMcast"),

OpenDDS::DCPS::DONT_AUTO_CONFIG);

    //set configuration
    transport_impl->configure(transport_cfg.in());

this compiles but I am having trouble running it to test. when I try:
$DDS_ROOT/bin/DCPSInfoRepo -ORBSvcConf mcast.conf

I get:
(6217|3074930384)INFO: not using file configuration - no configuration file
specified.
(6217|3074930384)TransportFactory::get_or_create_factory: transport
(type=SimpleTcp) is not registered.
 (6217|3074930384) ERROR: DCPSInfoRepo::init: Unable to initialize
transport.
Unexpected initialization Error: Unable to initialize transport.

If I do:
$DDS_ROOT/bin/DCPSInfoRepo -ORBSvcConf tcp.conf

I get:
(6231|3074729680)INFO: not using file configuration - no configuration file
specified.

but I can't run subscriber then.

Where am I going wrong/what did I misunderstand?
