XMLRPC ::Client

Class deprecated or moved

This class is deprecated or moved on the latest stable version. The last existing version (v2_2_9) is shown here.

Provides remote procedure calls to a XML-RPC server.

After setting the connection-parameters with XMLRPC::Client.new which creates a new XMLRPC::Client instance, you can execute a remote procedure by sending the XMLRPC::Client#call or XMLRPC::Client#call2 message to this new instance.

The given parameters indicate which method to call on the remote-side and of course the parameters for the remote procedure.

require "xmlrpc/client"
server = XMLRPC ::Client.new ("www.ruby-lang.org", "/RPC2", 80)
begin
 param = server.call ("michael.add", 4, 5)
 puts "4 + 5 = #{param}"
rescue XMLRPC ::FaultException => e
 puts "Error:"
 puts e.faultCode
 puts e.faultString
end

or

require "xmlrpc/client"
server = XMLRPC ::Client.new ("www.ruby-lang.org", "/RPC2", 80)
ok, param = server.call2 ("michael.add", 4, 5)
if ok then
 puts "4 + 5 = #{param}"
else
 puts "Error:"
 puts param.faultCode
 puts param.faultString
end
