/* A simple standalone RPC server based on an Xmlrpc-c packet socket. This program expects the invoker to provide an established connection to a client as Standard Input (E.g. Inetd can do this). It processes RPCs from that connection until the client closes the connection. This is not an XML-RPC server, because it uses a simple packet socket instead of HTTP. See xmlrpc_sample_add_server.cpp for an example of an XML-RPC server. The advantage of this example over XML-RPC is that it has a connection concept. The client can be connected indefinitely and the server gets notified when the client terminates, even if it gets aborted by its OS. Here's an example of running this: $ socketexec -accept -local_port=8080 ./pstream_inetd_server */ #ifndef WIN32 #include #endif #include #include #include #include #include #include using namespace std; class sampleAddMethod : public xmlrpc_c::method { public: sampleAddMethod() { // signature and help strings are documentation -- the client // can query this information with a system.methodSignature and // system.methodHelp RPC. this->_signature = "i:ii"; // method's arguments are two integers this->_help = "This method adds two integers together"; } void execute(xmlrpc_c::paramList const& paramList, xmlrpc_c::value * const retvalP) { int const addend(paramList.getInt(0)); int const adder(paramList.getInt(1)); paramList.verifyEnd(2); *retvalP = xmlrpc_c::value_int(addend + adder); } }; int main(int const, const char ** const) { // It's a good idea to disable SIGPIPE signals; if client closes his end // of the pipe/socket, we'd rather see a failure to send a response than // get killed by the OS. signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN); try { xmlrpc_c::registry myRegistry; xmlrpc_c::methodPtr const sampleAddMethodP(new sampleAddMethod); myRegistry.addMethod("sample.add", sampleAddMethodP); xmlrpc_c::serverPstreamConn server( xmlrpc_c::serverPstreamConn::constrOpt() .socketFd(STDIN_FILENO) .registryP(&myRegistry)); server.run(); } catch (exception const& e) { cerr << "Something threw an error: " << e.what() << endl; } return 0; }
