This directory contains working examples of uses of XML-RPC-c. There
|
|
|
|
|
are XML-RPC servers and XML-RPC clients that use the Xmlrpc-c libraries.

The make file is a combination of an example of how to build programs
|
|
|
|
|
that use Xmlrpc-c libraries and something that actually does build the
|
|
|
|
|
programs in this directory. As such, it isn't perfect for either of
|
|
|
|
|
those purposes. To build the examples, you must first build the
|
|
|
|
|
libraries (make dependencies will not take care of that for you). Then
|
|
|
|
|
you can issue a simple 'make' in this directory.

The simplest server program is 'xmlrpc_sample_add_server'. This
|
|
|
|
|
implements a single XML-RPC method called 'sample.add'. All it does is
|
|
|
|
|
add two numbers and return the sum. You can run such a server like
|
|
|
|
|
this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./xmlrpc_sample_add_server 8080
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The server this runs is based on the Abyss HTTP server. file. The
|
|
|
|
|
argument tell it to listen on TCP Port 8080 for RPCs. It puts log
|
|
|
|
|
information in /tmp, so be sure to look there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A client program that goes along with this server is
|
|
|
|
|
'xmlrpc_sample_add_client'. All this client does is make an XML-RPC
|
|
|
|
|
request to Port 8080 of 'localhost' to add the numbers 5 and 7 and
|
|
|
|
|
print the result on Standard Output.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can run such a client like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./xmlrpc_sample_add_client
|
|
|
|
|
|
