Hi all,
I'm having some troubles with the Erlang generated code from Thrift. I might
add that I'm a newbie in using Thrift and got minimal knowledge about Erlang
but I'm fairly experienced in programming.
I've been looking at the tutorial where in one directory "tutorial/erl/"
there are files called "server.erl" and "server.sh" that seem to be an
implementation of the RPC functions. Am I missing something or doesn't
Thrift generate server stubs based on my definition file?
All the generated files I see are in the gen-erl and I can't see that any
one of them do what server.erl does... am I missing something or do I have
to hand code the "server.erl" file
btw, I will make sure to add your points into the wiki page
Thanks in advance,

Hi Hannes,
I am very new to thrift too, just started hacking away at it last week.
Fortunately I was lucky to be friends with Todd Lipcon who made the
Erlang bindings for Thrift in the first place. Something very useful is:

Play around and check it out, should give you a great stepping stone.
You might get stuck make the erlang app, make sure to check where your
rpc directory is pointing to in gen/Makefile.
