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:cmorley@users.sourceforge.net">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:lostd@ukr.net">Konstantin + Pilipchuk</A>.</P> + <P></P> + <H3>License</H3> + <p>A full copy of the LGPL license is included in the file COPYING.
