IWSDDeviceHost::Init

Other versions of this page are also available for the following:

• Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3

8/28/2008

This method initializes an instance of an IWSDDeviceHost object, which is the host-side representation of a device.

Syntax

HRESULT Init(
  LPCWSTR pszLocalId,
    IWSDXMLContext* pContext,
    IWSDAddress** ppHostAddresses,
  DWORD dwHostAddressCount
);

Parameters

• pszLocalId
  [in] The logical or physical address of the device. A logical address is of the form urn:uuid:{guid}. If pszLocalId is a logical address, the host will announce the logical address and then convert the address to a physical address when it receives Resolve or Probe messages.

  If pszLocalId is a physical address (such as URL prefixed by http or https), the host will use the address as the physical address and will host on that address instead of the default one.

  For secure communication, pszLocalId must be an URL prefixed by https, and the host will use the SSL/TLS protocol on the port specified in the URL. The recommended port is port 5358, as this port is reserved for secure connections with WSDAPI. If no port is specified, then the host will use port 443. The host port must be configured with an SSL server certificate. For more information about the configuration of host ports, see HttpSetServiceConfiguration.

  Any URL (http or https) must be terminated with a trailing slash. The URL must contain a valid IP address or hostname.

  The following list shows some example values for pszLocalId. It is not a complete list of valid values.

  • https://192.168.0.1:5357/
  • https://localhost/
  • https://myHostname:5357/
  • https://192.168.0.1:5358/
  • https://myHostname/
  • https://myHostname/myDevice/
  • https://myHostname:5358/

• pContext
  [in, optional] An IWSDXMLContext interface that defines custom message types or namespaces.

• ppHostAddresses
  [in, optional] A single IWSDAddress object or IWSDTransportAddress object. The objects provide information about specific addresses that the host should listen on.

  If pszLocalId contains a local address, the resulting behavior is a mapping between the logical address and the supplied physical address (instead of a mapping between the logical address and the default physical address).

• dwHostAddressCount
  [in, optional] The number of items in the ppHostAddresses array. If ppHostAddresses is an IWSDAddress interface, count must be 1.

Return Value

The following table shows the possible error code return values.

Remarks

This method is called by WSDCreateDeviceHost and need not normally be called directly by your code.
