XMLRPC Implementation for Oberon

Description

Maintainer: John Drake

Requirements: Aos Oberon

Installation and usage

2. Extract the files.

3. Compile the files XMLRPC.Mod and TestXMLRPC.Mod. To see examples use the commands TestXMLRPC.Test1 and TestXMLRPC.Test2

XMLRPC currently exports 3 object types. 1) Client 2) Method 3) Parameters. To use XMLRPC in your own code requires the following steps:

1. Create a client object passing it the URL of the XMLRPC server.   
   NEW(client, "http://server-url")


2. Create a method object, passing it the method you wish to call.  
   NEW(method, "module.method")


3. Create a parameter object. Add each parameter to be passed.  
   NEW(params); params.AddInt(int1); params.AddInt(int2);


4. Pass the parameter object to the method object.  
   method.SetParams(params);


5. Call the client, passing the method object to it. Results returned in a DynamString  
   resultstring := client.Call(method);

Note: I'm releasing this package early in the hopes that others will join in the development. There are some obvious improvements to make.

• Being able to handle parameters other than just Int (i.e. passing structures)
• Parsing the resulting string into XML
• Implementing an XMLRPC server
