DESCRIPTION

Globals

Variable: @ISA

DTA::CAB::Server::XmlRpc inherits from DTA::CAB::Server.

Constructors etc.

new

$srv = $CLASS_OR_OBJ->new(%args);

Constructor.

%args, %$srv:

##-- Underlying server
xsrv => $xsrv,             ##-- low-level server, an RPC::XML::Server object
xopt => \%opts,            ##-- options for RPC::XML::Server->new()
xrun => \%opts,            ##-- options for RPC::XML::Server->server_loop()
##
##-- XML-RPC procedure naming
procNamePrefix => $prefix, ##-- default: 'dta.cab.'
##
##-- hacks
encoding => $enc,          ##-- sets $RPC::XML::ENCODING on prepare(), used by underlying server
##
##-- (inherited from DTA::CAB::Server)
as => \%analyzers,         ##-- ($name => $cab_analyzer_obj, ...)
aos => \%name2options,     ##-- ($name => \%analyzerOptions, ...)

Methods: Encoding Hacks

wrapMethodEncoding

\%rpcProcHash = $srv->wrapMethodEncoding(\%rpcProcHash);

Wraps an RPC::XML::procedure spec into $srv->{encoding}-safe code, only if $rpcProcHash{wrapEncoding} is set to a true value. This is a hack to which we resort because RPC::XML is so stupid.

Methods: Generic Server API

prepareLocal

$rc = $srv->prepareLocal();

Subclass-local post-constructor initialization. Registers analysis methods, generates wrapper closures, etc. Returns true on success, false otherwise.

run

$rc = $srv->run();

Runs the server. Doesn't return until the server dies (or is killed).

Methods: Additional

listAnalyzersProc

\%procSpec = $srv->listAnalyzersProc();

Returns an RPC::XML specification for the 'listAnalyzers' method, which just returns an array containing the names of all known analyzers. Used by "prepareLocal"().
