Overview

Maps the methods of remote objects to local ones. (Well, not really, it just passes the message along to the remote end.)

You start like:

server = Arachni::RPC::EM::Client.new( :host => 'localhost', :port => 7331 )
bench  = Arachni::RPC::EM::Client::Mapper.new( server, 'bench' )

And it allows you to do this:

res = bench.foo( 1, 2, 3 )

Instead of:

res = client.call( 'bench.foo', 1, 2, 3 )

The server on the other end must have an appropriate handler set, like:

class Bench
    def foo( i = 0 )
        return i
    end
end

server = Arachni::RPC::EM::Server.new( :host => 'localhost', :port => 7331 )
server.add_handler( 'bench', Bench.new )
