Overview

Implements a CGI-based XML-RPC server.

require "xmlrpc/server"

s = XMLRPC::CGIServer.new

s.add_handler("michael.add") do |a,b|
  a + b
end

s.add_handler("michael.div") do |a,b|
  if b == 0
    raise XMLRPC::FaultException.new(1, "division by zero")
  else
    a / b
  end
end

s.set_default_handler do |name, *args|
  raise XMLRPC::FaultException.new(-99, "Method #{name} missing" +
                                   " or wrong number of parameters!")
end

s.serve

Note: Make sure that you don't write to standard-output in a handler, or in any other part of your program, this would cause a CGI-based server to fail!

Instance Method Summary

BasicServer - Inherited

#add_handler

Adds aBlock to the list of handlers, with name as the name of the method.
#add_introspection

Adds the introspection handlers "system.listMethods", "system.methodSignature" and "system.methodHelp", where only the first one works.
#add_multicall

Adds the multi-call handler "system.multicall".
#get_default_handler

Returns the default-handler, which is called when no handler for a method-name is found.
#get_service_hook

Returns the service-hook, which is called on each service request (RPC) unless it's nil.
#process,
#set_default_handler

Sets handler as the default-handler, which is called when no handler for a method-name is found.
#set_service_hook

A service-hook is called for each service request (RPC).
#call_method,
#check_arity

Returns true, if the arity of obj matches n_args
#dispatch, #handle, #multicall_fault

ParseContentType - Included

#parse_content_type

ParserWriterChooseMixin - Included

#set_parser

Sets the XMLParser to use for parsing XML documents.
#set_writer

Sets the XMLWriter to use for generating XML output.
#create, #parser

Constructor Details

.new(*a) ⇒ CGIServer

Creates a new CGIServer instance.

All parameters given are by-passed to BasicServer.new.

You can only create one CGIServer instance, because more than one makes no sense.

    #serve  
  



  

    

Call this after you have added all you handlers to the server.



This method processes a XML-RPC method call and sends the answer back to the client.
