Vinjvinj,
I am in a similar situation. I have a twisted based application server
(like your unagi).
I use an xml-rpc interface to connect to it from turbogears. Today, my
twisted server returns an xml-string. The goal of my next iteration is
to return a json string. Once I get this I can try out mochikit.
I am migrating from a java-based HTML generator. I have found that a
SOA model works very well. I like to keep the HTML out of the twisted
server, and leave that to turbogears.
Iteration 3 will be to expose an XML-RPC interface from turbogears,
cherrypy supports XML-RPC, but I don't know if this works with
turbogears. I really like to provide an HTML interface + an XML-RPC
interface to functionality. Most of my projects have both human and
computer consumers of data. An XML-RPC interface in turbogears would
allow this to happen.
I attached sample cherrypi code, let me know if you get this work under
cherrypy. I am still about a month away from trying this.
Thanks
Mike
-------------- here is the CherryPy code for XML-RPC-------------------
---------- cherry pie server -----------------------------------
class Root:
@cherrypy.expose
def index(self):
return "You're RPC server is running on!"
class RootXmlRpcServer:
@cherrypy.expose
def echo(self, what):
return what
if __name__ == '__main__':
cherrypy.root = Root()
cherrypy.root.xmlrpc = RootXmlRpcServer()
cherrypy.config.update( {'global': {
'server.socketPort': 8080,
},
'/xmlrpc': {
'xmlRpcFilter.on': True,
'xmlRpcFilter.encoding': 'latin-1',
}})
cherrypy.server.start()
--------- xml-rpc client ----------------------------------
import xmlrpclib
s = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://localhost:8080/xmlrpc')
print s.echo('toto')
