Hello, I just committed a change to the RpcPhp server trunk that allows service introspection similar to the one found in XMLRPC:
http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/introspection.html In contrast to the XMLRPC standard, the methods "listMethods", "methodSignature" and "methodHelp" are not methods of a virtual service "system", but are made available as parts of the service class itself. In PHP, this is achieved by extending the ServiceIntrospection class (which is automatically included by the server) or by implementing methods that forward to the API methods like so: function method_methodSignature( $method ) { return new ServiceIntrospection( $this )->method_methodSignature( $method ); } Thus, you have full control over whether to allow introspection or not. The details of the implementation can be viewed here: http://qooxdoo-contrib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/qooxdoo-contrib/trunk/qooxdoo-contrib/RpcPhp/trunk/services/server/ServiceIntrospection.php?view=markup You can see a demo of the three methods here: http://www.qxtransformer.org/qooxdoo/RpcConsole/trunk/demo/default/build/?serverUrl=http://www.qxtransformer.org/qooxdoo/RpcPhp/trunk/services/&runTest=listMethods http://www.qxtransformer.org/qooxdoo/RpcConsole/trunk/demo/default/build/?serverUrl=http://www.qxtransformer.org/qooxdoo/RpcPhp/trunk/services/&runTest=methodSignature http://www.qxtransformer.org/qooxdoo/RpcConsole/trunk/demo/default/build/?serverUrl=http://www.qxtransformer.org/qooxdoo/RpcPhp/trunk/services/&runTest=methodHelp I would like to propose that the other backends implement this simple introspection as well. Of course, I am open to changes to the introspection API in order to achieve interoperability.
