RPC::XML::Server - XML-RPC Server Interface Class

This section describe the RPC::XML::Server class - the RPC-XML server and programming interface for remote method call handlers.

RPC::XML::Server - A XML-RPC server and programming interface for remote method handlers. It supports the following methods:

new(host=>'hostName', port=>'port', queue=>'queueSize') - Constructs and returns a XML-RPC server object that listens on the specified host name at the specified port with the specified queue size. The following statement shows you an example of how to use this constructor:

   $server = RPC::XML::Server->new(host => 'localhost',
      port => '8001', queue='5');

add_method({name=>'methodName', signature=>\@sigList, code=>\&function}) - Adds a method to the server with a hash to specify the method name, the signature list, and the actual function that handles the method. The following statement adds a method called "com.herong.getCelsius" to the server. This method has one signature of returning 'double' and taking one 'double'. The method handler is a function called "getCelsius".

   $server->add_method({ name => 'com.herong.getCelsius',
      signature => [ 'double double' ], code => \&getCelsius });

Rules on adding methods and dispatching method calls:

server_loop() - Starts the server in listen mode.
