I have a mashup I need to d with a site that uses xmlrpc. I am trying
to understand the the call method. I have the following items that
need to be passed to the remote site.
methodName
and the following structure
ID - string
area - string
views = array of strings
I know what the xml should look like
<methodCall>
<methodName>lists</methodName>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<struct>
<member>
<name>id</name>
<value>
<string>12345</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>list</name>
<value>
<string>district</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>View</name>
<value>
<array>
<data>
<value>
<string>Ocean</string>
</value>
<value>
<string>Mountain</string>
</value>
<value>
<string>Golf Course</string>
</value>
<value>
<string>Garden View</string>
</value>
</data>
</array>
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodCall>
I have results from various inputs from the view for the value. I am
trying to figure out how to create the xml structure and how to use it
in the XMLRPC call.
Any help?

erb. Set up a boilerplate file and fill in what you need. It''s MUCH faster than trying to generate it with REXML.

OK I can do that, but how is that result string of xml passed to the server I have a variable remote_server that was created with the XMLRPC::Client.new2 call. how do I then call the method "search" on that serve?

Why not require ''xmlrpc/client'' @server = XMLRPC::Client.new((secure) ? MY_SECURE_URN : MY_URN, MY_ENDPOINT, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, secure) @server.call(''my.method.name'', {:id => 1, :area => ''someplace''} etc. I''ve had nothing but good results from xmlrpc. Any reason not to use it? On Feb 23, 2009, at 7:03 PM, Sarah Mei wrote:> > erb. Set up a boilerplate file and fill in what you need.

I access 3rd party software through xmlrpc calls. I built mine as a
plugin... but i''ll extract some of it for you in this example below:
require "xmlrpc/client"
def api_perform(class_type, method, *args)
begin
server = XMLRPC::Client.new3({''host'' => @api_url,
''path'' => "/api/
xmlrpc", ''port'' => 443, ''use_ssl''
=> true})
result = server.call("#{class_type}.#{method}", @api_key, *args)
rescue XMLRPC::FaultException => e
puts "*** Error: #{e.faultCode} - #{e.faultString} ***"
end
return result
end
The result that''s returned is a Hash.
Hope this helps.

Thank you. I assume the args parameter is a hash of the variou values to be put into the XML. Correct? Does the call method actually generates the XML as I described, or do I have to generate it?
