XMLRPC::RackServer

This gem extends the Ruby standard library XML-RPC server to be Rack compatible.

Installation

If bundler is used, just include the relevant line to Gemfile:

gem 'xmlrpc-rack_server'

or in other projects:

require 'rubygems'
require 'xmlrpc-rack_server'

Usage

Use the XML-RPC server as a normal Rack server, extended by the functionality of the Ruby standard library XML-RPC server.

The Ruby standard library XML-RPC component documentation can be found at: www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.3/libdoc/xmlrpc/rdoc/index.html and the Rack documentation at: rack.rubyforge.org/doc/

Examples

This creates a simple XML-RPC ping server running on Rack:

class Ping
  def self.call(env)
    server = XMLRPC::RackServer.new
    server.add_introspection
    server.add_handler('weblogUpdates', self.new)
    server.call(env)
  end

  def ping(title, url)
    # Do whatever with title and url
    {:flerror => false, :message => 'Thanks for the ping.'}
  end
end

If Ruby on Rails framework is used the Rack server can be mounted on routes.rb:

Rails.application.routes.draw do |map|
  mount Ping => '/ping'
end
