<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>XmlRpc++ Library</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta http-equiv="Content-language" content="en-US"> <meta name="author" content="Chris Morley"> <meta name="copyright" content="Copyright © 2003 by Chris Morley"> </head> <body> <H3>XmlRpc++ Library</H3> <P>This is version 0.7 of XmlRpc++, an implementation of the <A HREF="http://www.xmlrpc.org"> XmlRpc protocol</A> written in C++, based upon Shilad Sen's excellent <A HREF="http://py-xmlrpc.sourceforge.net"> py-xmlrpc library</A>. XmlRpc++ is designed to make it easy to incorporate XmlRpc client and server support into C++ applications. Or use both client and server objects in your app for easy peer-to-peer support. </P> <H3>Features</H3> <UL> <li> <STRONG>Easy</STRONG> This library is easy to incorporate into C++ applications. No other libraries are required, other than your system's socket libraries. Simple XML parsing and HTTP support are built in.<br> <li> <STRONG>Fast</STRONG> All IO is non-blocking, so a slow client or network will not slow down the server.<br> <li> <STRONG>Portable</STRONG> Written in standard C++ to the POSIX and Windows sockets APIs. You do need a fairly recent compiler (g++ 3.1 or MSVC++ .Net or MSVC++ 6 with the <A href="http://www.dinkumware.com/vc_fixes.html">STL patches</A>.) </li> <li> <STRONG>Free</STRONG> This library is released under the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/"> GNU</a> <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html">LGPL</a>.<br> <br> </li> </UL> <P> </P> <h3>Changes</h3> <UL> <li> Better handling of fault responses: server methods can throw an XmlRpcException to return a fault and XmlRpcClient has a new method to test whether the last response was a fault.</li> <li> Support for system.listMethods and system.methodHelp from the introspection API.</li> <li> Support for system.multicall to process multiple requests in a single transaction.</li> <li> Fixed a problem in the XmlRpcServer destructor (it should not have been deleting the methods).</li> <li> The server ensures a valid result value is returned even if the method does not set the result. The default result is an empty string.</li> <li> Doxygen comments in header files and a doc target in the makefile.</li> </UL> <P> <P> </P> <h3>Installation</h3> <P> There are VC++ 6 and VC++ .Net project files building on Windows. If you are using VC++ 6, you should apply SP3 and the fixes at <A href="http://www.dinkumware.com/vc_fixes.html"> http://www.dinkumware.com/vc_fixes.html</A>. Be sure to set the appropriate code generation switches. In particular, ensure that the runtime library (single/multi-threaded, static library/DLL) used is the same for the XmlRpc++ code and whatever application it will be linked to.</P> <P> For Linux, Solaris, and other Unix-like platforms there is a GNU Makefile which can be edited to suit your system. Specify your C++ compiler, compiler flags, and your system's socket libraries. </P> <p>In the test directory there are various test programs that are built by default. To verify that the library built correctly, you can start the HelloServer example:<br> <pre>HelloServer 8000 </pre> and the HelloClient example in another terminal window:<br> <pre>HelloClient localhost 8000 </pre> <P> You should see two Hello messages and a sum displayed (amongst a bunch of debug output). You can also try the XML server validator program (eg, "Validator 80") and then attempt to connect to it from <A href="http://validator.xmlrpc.com">http://validator.xmlrpc.com</A> (if you have access to the internet and are not behind a firewall etc). </P> <H3>Author</H3> <P><A href="mailto:[email protected]">Chris Morley</A> </P> <P>Although no code was re-used, the design and structure of the library is based upon the py-xmlrpc library implementation.<BR> The base64 decoder/encoder is by <A href="mailto:[email protected]">Konstantin Pilipchuk</A>.</P> <P></P> <H3>License</H3> <p>A full copy of the LGPL license is included in the file COPYING.
