Hi Voger,
Having now looked at elgg, I understand your confusion. The issue is that
elgg does not provide a standards-based JSON-RPC server; rather, they
provide, as they describe it, a REST/RPC hybrid. In other words, it appears
that their server won't interoperate with anything that sends standard
JSON-RPC.
So what does that mean to your elgg server that wants to interoperate with
qooxdoo and JSON-RPC? I think you could add the PHP version of the qooxdoo
JSON-RPC server and have it call elgg functions. That should work fine. The
expert on the PHP backend is Christain Boulanger,
c.boulan...@qxtransformer.org, who I've copied. Hopefully he'll respond
with more detailed help.
(If you want to use a NodeJS-based, JavaScript version of the JSON-RPC
server, I can give you substantial assistance. My knowledge of PHP and the
PHP version of the JSON-RPC server is out of date by about 10 years,
though.)
