/*============================================================================= pstream_client.cpp =============================================================================== This is an example of a client that uses XML-RPC for C/C++ (Xmlrpc-c). In particular, it uses the simple "packet stream" XML transport mechanism instead of HTTP as specified by XML-RPC (so this is not an XML-RPC client). You have to supply as Standard Input a stream (TCP) socket whose other end is hooked up to the RPC server. The 'socket_exec' program is a good way to arrange that. The sample program pstream_server.cpp is compatible with this client. Example: $ socketexec -connect -remote_host=localhost -remote_port=8080 \ ./pstream_client =============================================================================*/ #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include using namespace std; int main(int argc, char **) { if (argc-1 > 0) { cerr << "This program has no arguments" << endl; exit(1); } // It's a good idea to disable SIGPIPE signals; if server closes his end // of the pipe/socket, we'd rather see a failure to send a call than // get killed by the OS. signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN); try { xmlrpc_c::clientXmlTransport_pstream myTransport( xmlrpc_c::clientXmlTransport_pstream::constrOpt() .fd(STDIN_FILENO)); xmlrpc_c::client_xml myClient(&myTransport); string const methodName("sample.add"); xmlrpc_c::paramList sampleAddParms; sampleAddParms.add(xmlrpc_c::value_int(5)); sampleAddParms.add(xmlrpc_c::value_int(7)); xmlrpc_c::rpcPtr myRpcP(methodName, sampleAddParms); xmlrpc_c::carriageParm_pstream myCarriageParm; // Empty; transport doesn't need any information myRpcP->call(&myClient, &myCarriageParm); assert(myRpcP->isFinished()); int const sum(xmlrpc_c::value_int(myRpcP->getResult())); // Assume the method returned an integer; throws error if not cout << "Result of RPC (sum of 5 and 7): " << sum << endl; } catch (exception const& e) { cerr << "Client threw error: " << e.what() << endl; } catch (...) { cerr << "Client threw unexpected error." << endl; } return 0; }
