XML-RPC filter

Purpose

Converts XMLRPC to CherryPy2 object system and vice-versa.

PLEASE NOTE:

beforeRequestBody: Unmarshalls the posted data to a methodname and parameters.

• These are stored in cherrypy.request.rpcMethod and .rpcParams
• The method is also stored in cherrypy.request.path, so CP2 will find the right method to call for you, based on the root's position.

beforeFinalize: Marshalls cherrypy.response.body to xmlrpc.

• Until resolved: cherrypy.response.body must be a python source string;this string is 'eval'ed to return the results. This will be resolved in the future. (Fixed in changeset 569)
• Content-Type and Content-Length are set according to the new (marshalled) data.

Parameters

• xmlRpcFilter.on:
  • Purpose: To enable or disable the filter
  • Value: True or False
  • Default: False
• xmlRpcFilter.encoding:
  • Purpose: To specify the encoding used internally
  • Value: An existing encoding
  • Default: utf-8
