Re: [Nel] Deprecated services

Hi Michael,

You are not force to put variables Rec WinParam and SId. If you don't put
them, you ll just have a warning message like this:
"WRN 1176 config_file.h 283 : Exception will be launched: variable "Rec" not
found in file "admin_executor_service.cfg""
But it's not important because the warning is due to the Exceptiont. In
debug mode, all Exception throw a warning to warn the coder.
Anyway, You should remove unused Variable for example SId. In fact this
variable is a *number*, an Id, that used to force the sid in the
naming_service. You could set the variable to 0 if you don't want to force
the number but let the naming_service find an empty SId for you. This value
must be < 127.

I'll check your problem with our sample and this probs if any.
