I deleted that page because it is misleading and old. There are two issues:
1) the technical reason for your error is that @f def g(): return 'something' is equivalent to def g(): return 'something' g=f(g()) and in your case f (i.e. run) does not take arguments. 2) anyway the post is misleading because this is all already coded for you and part of web2py core functionality. Here is a complete example you can put in your controller ### begin from gluon.tools import Service service=Service(globals()) @service.run @service.json def create(name): return name def call(): return service() ### end now visit http://..../call/run/create/Dave http://..../call/run/create?name=Dave http://..../call/json/create/Dave http://..../call/json/create?name=Dave same for xmlrpc, pyamf, etc. This is documented partially in the gluon/ tools file.
