Detailed Description

This class impliments a core XMLRPC service without the underlying transports.

It is meant to create and parse XMLRPC messages. To use for a fit purpose, one might combine it with URLStream, although this implimentation makes no requirement for http based transport.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ost::XMLRPC::XMLRPC (size_t bufferSize = 512)

Construct XMLRPC workspace. Parameters:

: bufferSize size of buffer when using old C++ strstreams. When the newer stringstream (<sstream>) is available, this parameter is silently ignored.

virtual ost::XMLRPC::~XMLRPC () [virtual]

Destroy XMLRPC object.

Member Function Documentation

void ost::XMLRPC::addMember (const char * name, const char * value)

Add a string member to XMLRPC struct. Parameters:

: name of member.
value of member.

void ost::XMLRPC::addMember (const char * name, long value)

Add an integer member to XMLRPC struct. Parameters:

: name of member.
value of member.

void ost::XMLRPC::addMember (const char * name, bool value)

Add bool member to a XMLRPC struct. Parameters:

: name of member.
value of member.

void ost::XMLRPC::addParam (const char * string)

Add a string paramater to XMLRPC request. Parameters:

: string to add.

void ost::XMLRPC::addParam (long value)

Add an integer paramater to XMLRPC request. Parameters:

: value to add.

void ost::XMLRPC::addParam (bool value)

Add bool param to XMLRPC request. Parameters:

: value to add.

void ost::XMLRPC::begArray (void)

Create an array.

void ost::XMLRPC::begStruct (void) [protected]

Start member struct.

void ost::XMLRPC::endArray (void)

end an array.

void ost::XMLRPC::endStruct (void)

Clear a struct.

void ost::XMLRPC::invoke (const char * method)

Create XMLRPC 'method' call in buffer. Parameters:

: method name of method being called.

virtual bool ost::XMLRPC::post (const char * resource, const char * msg) [protected, pure virtual]

Used in a derived transport class to deliver the XMLRPC encoded request and return true if successful. The Parse method can then be used to decode the reply.

Returns:
