Hi, I'm currently looking into integrating the cas-filemgr and cas-crawler into our python based monitor and control implementation for the KAT-7 telescope.
I've been having an email conversation with Chris and Cameron about developing the python code, when I suggested that it would be cool to make the filemgr XML-RPC interface introspective aware, something along the lines of http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/introspection.html. Chris's reply to me with the following: > To make the FM XML-RPC introspection aware, we'd simply need to subclass this interface: > http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/apidocs/org/apache/xmlrpc/metadata/XmlRpcListableHandlerMapping.html > The current FM doesn't sub-class it though so we'd need to register a new handler or perhaps sub-class the XmlRpcFileManager class right now and use the ListableHandler above. At Chris's request, I've now brought this onto the dev mailing list to include the OODT collective in the conversation. Cheers, Tom PS: Some of the initial tinkering that I've done exploring the xmlrpc using python can be found at: https://cwiki.apache.org/OODT/expldoring-the-oodt-file-manager-xml-rpc-interface.html<https://cwiki.apache.org/OODT/exploring-the-oodt-file-manager-xml-rpc-interface.html>
