class XMLRPC::Client::Proxy
XML-RPC calls look nicer!
You can call any method onto objects of that class - the object handles #method_missing and will forward the method call to a XML-RPC server.
Don't use this class directly, instead use the public instance method XMLRPC::Client#proxy or XMLRPC::Client#proxy2.
require "xmlrpc/client" server = XMLRPC::Client.new("www.ruby-lang.org", "/RPC2", 80) michael = server.proxy("michael") michael2 = server.proxy("michael", 4) # both calls should return the same value '9'. p michael.add(4,5) p michael2.add(5)
Public Class Methods
Creates an object which provides #method_missing.
The given server
must be an instance of XMLRPC::Client, which is the XML-RPC server to be
used for a XML-RPC call.
prefix
and delim
will be prepended to the method
name called onto this object.
An optional parameter meth
is the method to use for a RPC. It
can be either, call, call2, call_async, call2_async
args
are arguments which are automatically given to every
XML-RPC call before being provided through method_missing
.
# File lib/xmlrpc/client.rb, line 606 def initialize(server, prefix, args=[], meth=:call, delim=".") @server = server @prefix = prefix ? prefix + delim : "" @args = args @meth = meth end
Public Instance Methods
Every method call is forwarded to the XML-RPC server defined in XMLRPC::Client::Proxy#new.
Note: Inherited methods from class Object
cannot be used as XML-RPC names, because they get around
method_missing
.
# File lib/xmlrpc/client.rb, line 618 def method_missing(mid, *args) pre = @prefix + mid.to_s arg = @args + args @server.send(@meth, pre, *arg) end
