|
The \module{SimpleXMLRPCServer} module provides a basic server
|
|
framework for XML-RPC servers written in Python. The server object is
|
|
based on the \class{\refmodule{SocketServer}.TCPServer} class,
|
|
and the request handler is based on the
|
|
\class{\refmodule{BaseHTTPServer}.BaseHTTPRequestHandler} class.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{classdesc}{SimpleXMLRPCServer}{addr\optional{,
|
|
requestHandler\optional{, logRequests}}}
|
|
Create a new server instance. The \var{requestHandler} parameter
|
|
should be a factory for request handler instances; it defaults to
|
|
\class{SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler}. The \var{addr} and
|
|
\var{requestHandler} parameters are passed to the
|
|
\class{\refmodule{SocketServer}.TCPServer} constructor. If
|
|
\var{logRequests} is true (the default), requests will be logged;
|
|
setting this parameter to false will turn off logging. This class
|
|
provides methods for registration of functions that can be called by
|
|
the XML-RPC protocol.
|
|
\end{classdesc}
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{classdesc}{SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler}{}
|
|
Create a new request handler instance. This request handler
|
|
supports \code{POST} requests and modifies logging so that the
|
|
\var{logRequests} parameter to the \class{SimpleXMLRPCServer}
|
|
constructor parameter is honored.
|
|
\end{classdesc}

\subsection{SimpleXMLRPCServer Objects \label{simple-xmlrpc-servers}}
|
|
|
|
The \class{SimpleXMLRPCServer} class provides two methods that an
|
|
application can use to register functions that can be called via the
|
|
XML-RPC protocol via the request handler.
|
|
|
|
\begin{methoddesc}[SimpleXMLRPCServer]{register_function}{function\optional{,
|
|
name}}
|
|
Register a function that can respond to XML-RPC requests. The
|
|
function must be callable with a single parameter which will be the
|
|
return value of \function{\refmodule{xmlrpclib}.loads()} when called
|
|
with the payload of the request. If \var{name} is given, it will be
|
|
the method name associated with \var{function}, otherwise
|
|
\code{\var{function}.__name__} will be used. \var{name} can be
|
|
either a normal or Unicode string, and may contain characters not
|
|
legal in Python identifiers, including the period character.
|
|
\end{methoddesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{methoddesc}[SimpleXMLRPCServer]{register_instance}{instance}
|
|
Register an object which is used to expose method names which have
|
|
not been registered using \method{register_function()}. If
|
|
\var{instance} contains a \method{_dispatch()} method, it is called
|
|
with the requested method name and the parameters from the request;
|
|
the return value is returned to the client as the result. If
|
|
\var{instance} does not have a \method{_dispatch()} method, it is
|
|
searched for an attribute matching the name of the requested method;
|
|
if the requested method name contains periods, each component of the
|
|
method name is searched for individually, with the effect that a
|
|
simple hierarchical search is performed. The value found from this
|
|
search is then called with the parameters from the request, and the
|
|
return value is passed back to the client.
|
|
