Hi,

 

I'm running the dcm4chee image server in my own machine. His AETitle is "DCM4CHEE", IP is "127.0.0.1" (localhost) and port is "11112". It works properly through dcm4che toolkit utilities and web interface.

 

I'm trying to query this server with the desktop application I'm developing using ClearCanvas DICOM Toolkit. The code (based on ClearCanvas source code) is:

FindScuBase findScu = new PatientRootFindScu();
PatientQueryIod patientQueryIod = new PatientQueryIod();
patientQueryIod.SetCommonTags();

IList results = findScu.Find("TEST", "DCM4CHEE", "127.0.0.1", 11112, patientQueryIod);

 

But  this code throws an exception in:

- method: Connect()

- class: ScuBase

 

Does somebody know what it can be?

 

Thanks!

carlos, can you give more info about the exception? it is hard to diagnose without more info.

Hi dan,

The exception is: "ClearCanvas.Common.PluginException : No plugins could be found."

It can't connect to the server.

 

Thanks!

Carlos that is an issue with the Plugins. There was a thread out about this a month or so ago. I can't find it. I ended up commenting out some code in Common.PluginManager. Apparantly this was not fixed... maybe someone else can shed some light?

I believe I commented out this in that file:
LoadPlugins():
..
// If no plugins could be loaded, throw a fatal exception
// if (_plugins.Count == 0)
// throw new PluginException(SR.ExceptionUnableToLoadPlugins);


private string[] FindPlugins(string path)
catch (Exception e)
{
Platform.Log(LogLevel.Error,e);
//throw; // TH (Oct 5, 2007) replaced "throw e" with "throw". "throw e" produces a new exception stack. We want to know where the original exception occurs instead
}

...
//if (pluginFiles == null || pluginFiles.Length == 0)
// throw new PluginException(SR.ExceptionNoPluginsFound);

Carlos, can you provide a list of the files your application uses and the directory structure?

Thanks,
Stewart
