Thanks Thiago. I will be replacing all the dashes with underscore for creating an interface. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 5, 2008 at 7:11 PM, Thiago Macieira <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:thiago@kde.org">thiago@kde.org</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">On Friday 05 December 2008 14:19:16 Kaustubh Atrawalkar wrote:<br> > Hi,<br> ><br> > I m writing a server-client architecture in which i m creating a dbus<br> > interface based on the application name to be launched via server.

Interface names are expected to be valid C/C++/Java<br> identifiers (traditional anyways, not including higher Unicode).<br> <br> In fact, interface names are modelled after Java class names and package<br> names.
