Create a new object adapter. The endpoints for the object
adapter are taken from the property name.Endpoints.
It is legal to create an object adapter with the empty string as
its name. Such an object adapter is accessible via bidirectional
connections or by collocated invocations that originate from the
same communicator as is used by the adapter.
Attempts to create a named object adapter for which no configuration
can be found raise InitializationException.
@param name The object adapter name.
@return The new object adapter.

Destroy the communicator. This Java-only method overrides close in
java.lang.AutoCloseable and does not throw any exception.
@see #destroy
Destroy the communicator. This operation calls {@link #shutdown}
implicitly. Calling {@link #destroy} cleans up memory, and shuts down
this communicator's client functionality and destroys all object
adapters. Subsequent calls to {@link #destroy} are ignored.

Create a new object adapter with endpoints. This operation sets
the property name.Endpoints, and then calls
{@link #createObjectAdapter}. It is provided as a convenience
function.
Calling this operation with an empty name will result in a
UUID being generated for the name.
@param name The object adapter name.
@param endpoints The endpoints for the object adapter.
@return The new object adapter.

Create a new object adapter with a router. This operation
creates a routed object adapter.
Calling this operation with an empty name will result in a
UUID being generated for the name.
@param name The object adapter name.
@param rtr The router.
@return The new object adapter.

Add an object factory to this communicator. Installing a
factory with an id for which a factory is already registered
throws AlreadyRegisteredException.
When unmarshaling an Ice object, the Ice run time reads the
most-derived type id off the wire and attempts to create an
instance of the type using a factory. If no instance is created,
either because no factory was found, or because all factories
returned nil, the behavior of the Ice run time depends on the
format with which the object was marshaled:
If the object uses the "sliced" format, Ice ascends the class
hierarchy until it finds a type that is recognized by a factory,
or it reaches the least-derived type. If no factory is found that
can create an instance, the run time throws NoValueFactoryException.
If the object uses the "compact" format, Ice immediately raises
NoValueFactoryException.
The following order is used to locate a factory for a type:
Convert a set of proxy properties into a proxy. The "base"
name supplied in the property argument refers to a
property containing a stringified proxy, such as
MyProxy=id:tcp -h localhost -p 10000. Additional
properties configure local settings for the proxy, such as
MyProxy.PreferSecure=1. The "Properties"
appendix in the Ice manual describes each of the supported
proxy properties.
@param property The base property name.
@return The proxy.
Convert a proxy into a string.
@param obj The proxy to convert into a stringified proxy.
@return The stringified proxy, or an empty string if
obj is nil.
@see #stringToProxy
Shuts down this communicator's server functionality, which
includes the deactivation of all object adapters. Attempts to use a
deactivated object adapter raise ObjectAdapterDeactivatedException.
Subsequent calls to shutdown are ignored.
After shutdown returns, no new requests are processed. However, requests
that have been started before shutdown was called might still be active.
You can use {@link #waitForShutdown} to wait for the completion of all
requests.

Convert a string into an identity. If the string does not parse
correctly, the operation throws IdentityParseException.
@param str The string to convert into an identity.
@return The identity.
@see #identityToString
Convert a stringified proxy into a proxy. For example,
MyCategory/MyObject:tcp -h some_host -p
10000 creates a proxy that refers to the Ice object
having an identity with a name "MyObject" and a category
"MyCategory", with the server running on host "some_host", port
10000. If the stringified proxy does not parse correctly, the
operation throws one of ProxyParseException, EndpointParseException,
or IdentityParseException. Refer to the Ice manual for a detailed
description of the syntax supported by stringified proxies.
@param str The stringified proxy to convert into a proxy.
@return The proxy, or nil if str is an empty string.
@see #proxyToString
Wait until the application has called {@link #shutdown} (or {@link #destroy}).
On the server side, this operation blocks the calling thread
until all currently-executing operations have completed.
On the client side, the operation simply blocks until another
thread has called {@link #shutdown} or {@link #destroy}.
A typical use of this operation is to call it from the main thread,
which then waits until some other thread calls {@link #shutdown}.
After shut-down is complete, the main thread returns and can do some
cleanup work before it finally calls {@link #destroy} to shut down
the client functionality, and then exits the application.
