One week ago I learnt about XML-RPC and I did a little example with the Apache librairies.
My humble example consists in: - a server - an applet The appet contains a textbox, a button and a label. You can type a message in the text box, then hit the button, the applet sends the message to the server, the server gives a reply, this reply is displayed in the applet. It's really basic, easy to understand, and I think anyone can modify it. All the code and librairies are available in: www.chez.com/rastabot/xmlrpc/nr-xmlrpc-example.tar.gz No other files are needed, an explanation is provided as README.TXT Hope this helps. Nicolas RAOUL. By the way: I have been looking for sort of XML-RPC which wouldn't be tied to HTTP Any link for this ? > What would be nice is if you did away with the server example that's > there now entirely and put up a "Hello, world" application (complete > source, nothing fancy) with full instructions on getting the example > working so anyone new who comes along can follow the instructions, get > the server working, then contact the server with a browser (like > Netscape) and see the results. > > The snippets that are there now are tedious to assemble into a working > server.
