    raise "wrong dateTime.iso8601 format " + str
  end
end
double(str) click to toggle source

Converts a String to a Float

See also String.to_f

# File lib/xmlrpc/parser.rb, line 96
def self.double(str)
  str.to_f
end
fault(hash) click to toggle source

Converts the given hash to an XMLRPC::FaultException object by passing the faultCode and faultString attributes of the Hash to XMLRPC::FaultException.new

Raises an Exception if the given hash doesn't meet the requirements. Those requirements being:

  • 2 keys

  • 'faultCode' key is an Integer

  • 'faultString' key is a String

# File lib/xmlrpc/parser.rb, line 175
def self.fault(hash)
  if hash.kind_of? Hash and hash.size == 2 and
    hash.has_key? "faultCode" and hash.has_key? "faultString" and
    hash["faultCode"].kind_of? Integer and hash["faultString"].kind_of? String

    XMLRPC::FaultException.new(hash["faultCode"], hash["faultString"])
  else
    raise "wrong fault-structure: #{hash.inspect}"
  end
end
int(str) click to toggle source

Converts a String to an Integer

See also String.to_i

# File lib/xmlrpc/parser.rb, line 77
def self.int(str)
  str.to_i
end
struct(hash) click to toggle source

Converts the given hash to a marshalled object.

Returns the given hash if an exception occurs.

# File lib/xmlrpc/parser.rb, line 143
def self.struct(hash)
  # convert to marshalled object
  klass = hash["___class___"]
  if klass.nil? or Config::ENABLE_MARSHALLING == false
    hash
  else
    begin
      mod = Module
      klass.split("::").each {|const| mod = mod.const_get(const.strip)}

      obj = mod.allocate

      hash.delete "___class___"
      hash.each {|key, value|
        obj.instance_variable_set("@#{ key }", value) if key =~ /^([a-zA-Z_]\w*)$/
      }
      obj
    rescue
      hash
    end
  end
