[jira] Kommentiert: (XMLRPC-75) Introspection Patch for XML-RPC, current to SVN 2005-12-29 (r359943)

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLRPC-75?page=comments#action_12361479 ] 

Jochen Wiedmann commented on XMLRPC-75:
---------------------------------------

I do now understand, that the "Introspection" stuff is more than a new handler mapping. Basically, it is providing metadata to the client.

I'll look through the code in the next week.

> I've taken Aaron Hamid's Introspection patch (which was in turn derived from the one here: http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/hacks/helma-xmlrpc-introspection.diff ) and basically rewritten it to work with the current XML-RPC library.
> I tried to set it up so that it followed the existing coding style as much as possible, and would not break any existing applications.  For example, when I needed a list of handlers supported by a particular mapping, I added a new interface XmlRpcListableHandlerMapping that provides this information, made the default handler implement it, and designed my code so that if it were not implemented by a handler in use, everything  would work except the system.listMethods functionality that relies on it.
> I hope you will be able to integrate this code into the next version of the library; please contact me with any questions or issues.  I will be attaching the patch to this issue if I can so that the problem with his previous patch will not occur.
