<h1>Module xmlrpc</h1>
|
||
|
|
Provides an XML-RPC imlementation.
|
||
|
|
It is similar to python's xmlrpclib module.

<h3>marshall(obj)</h3><div class="indent">
|
||
|
|
Marshalls an object to XML-RPC.(Converts an object into XML-RPC conforming xml.)<br />
|
||
|
|
It just calls the toXmlRpc function of the objcect.<br />
|
||
|
|
So, to customize serialization of objects one just needs to specify/override the toXmlRpc method
|
||
|
|
which should return an xml string conforming with XML-RPC spec.<br />
|
||
|
|
<b>obj</b> The object to marshall<br />
|
||
|
|
<b>returns</b> An xml representation of the object.<br />
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<h3>unmarshall(xml)</h3><div class="indent">
|
||
|
|
Unmarshalls an XML document to a JavaScript object. (Converts xml to JavaScript object.)<br />
|
||
|
|
It parses the xml source and creates a JavaScript object.<br />
|
||
|
|
<b>xml</b> The xml document source to unmarshall.<br />

It parses the xml source and creates a JavaScript object.<br />
|
||
|
|
<b>doc</b> The xml document(DOM compatible) to unmarshall.<br />
|

<h3>ServiceProxy(url,methodNames,user,pass)</h3><div class="indent">
|
||
|
|
Class for creating proxy objects which resemble the remote service.<br />
|
||
|
|
Method calls to this proxy will result in calls to the remote service.<br />
|
||
|
|
<br />
|
||
|
|
The arguments are interpreted as shown in the examples:<br />
|
||
|
|
<br />
|
||
|
|
ServerProxy("url")<br />
|
||
|
|
ServerProxy("url", ["methodName1",...])<br />
|
||
|
|
ServerProxy("url", ["methodName1",...], "user", "pass")<br />
|
||
|
|
ServerProxy("url", "user", "pass")<br />
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><b>url</b> The url of the service.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><b>methodNames</b> =[] Array of names of methods that can be called on the server.<br />
|
||
|
|
If no methods are given then introspection is used to get the methodnames from the server.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><b>user</b> =null The user name to use for HTTP authentication.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><b>pass</b> =null The password to use for HTTP authentication.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ServiceProxy objects expose all the methods of the remote service as XMLRPCMethod objects.
|
||
|
|
In addition the object also has the following methods and properties.<br />
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><b>ServiceProxy::_addMethodNames(methodNames)</b><br />
|
||
|
|
Adds new XMLRPCMethods to the proxy server which can then be invoked.<br />
|
||
|
|
<b>methodNames</b> Array of names of methods that can be called on the server.<br />
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><b>ServiceProxy::_setAuthentication(user,pass)</b><br />
|
||
|
|
Sets username and password for HTTP Authentication for all methods of this service.<br />
|
||
|
|
<b>user</b> The user name.<br />
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
</li>

<li><b>ServiceProxy::_introspect()</b><br />
|
||
|
|
Initiate XML-RPC introspection to retrieve methodnames from the server<br />
|
||
|
|
and add them to the server proxy.<br />
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><b>ServiceProxy::_url</b><br />
|
||
|
|
The url of the service to resemble.<br />
|
||
|
|
</li>
|

|
|
<li><b>ServiceProxy::_user</b><br />
|
||
|
|
The user used for HTTP authentication.<br />
|

<h3>XMLRPCMethod(url, name, user, pass)</h3><div class="indent">
|
||
|
|
Class for creating XML-RPC methods.<br />
|
||
|
|
Calling the created method will result in an XML-RPC call to the service.<br />
|
||
|
|
The return value of this call will be the return value of the RPC call.<br />
|
||
|
|
RPC-Faults will be raised as Exceptions.<br />

|
|
Asynchronous operation:<br />
|
||
|
|
If the last parameter passed to the method is an XMLRPCAsyncCallback object, <br />
|
||
|
|
then the remote method will be called asynchronously. <br />
|
||
|

The results and errors are passed to the callback. <br />
