ulxmlrpcpp is a library to call methods on a remote server. ulxmlrpcpp's main goal is to be as easy to use as possible but be fully compliant. It is object oriented and written in C++.
ulxmlrpcpp is a library to perform calls via XML-RPC in an object oriented approach implemented in C++. It is intended to have simple interfaces and to be easy to learn. But it shall still be fully compliant to the standards and safe in it's use.
Unlike other implementations is does not insist on HTTP for transportation but might also accept other ways. For example a simple serial line with a user defined protocol.
This library uses expat as xml parser. In the unlikely case that you don't have it on your system download it from http://expat.sourceforge.net.
The following files are useful to learn more about this library:
* contrib/*
Contributed demos or other useful stuff
* ulxmlrpcpp/tests/*
Validators and test applications. Intended mainly for visual checking.
For the expected output see the according *.out.
val1_[server|client] are most important since they check most of the
functionality several thousand times.
secure_[server|client] demonstrates an approach to send and receive secure calls.
But don't take the encryption algorithm to serious, it is just to show how to do it
basically :-) Replace it by your favourite encryption algorithm.
mt_[server|client] does all the processing in parallel using threads.
* ulxmlrpcpp/apps/*
More or less useful applications in the real world
* ulxmlrpcpp/docs/en/index.html
The handbook with an introduction.
* ulxmlrpcpp/docs/api/html/index.html
The api docs. They are not part of the source distribution. Either download
them from the same place or generate yourself if you have doxygen installed.
Just type "make apidoc" in the the source directory.
In ulxr_config.h/ulxr_config-bcb5.h/ulxr_config-msvc.h/... there are some #define's that might be useful on non-autoconf systems or when you need to set up some things manually after running "configure".
There is also a directory for Borland BCB5 or M$VC++ users with project files. See "bcb5" resp. msvc and its subdirectories with the READMEs.
BCB5 users will want to turn off CodeGuard to increase the speed after they have verified that everything is working correctly with their applications.
ulxmlrpcpp is known to run fine on Linux, OpenBSD and Solaris, Windoze ports are working but not very reliably (BCB5 is ok from my point of view).
What's New in This Release:
The W3C recommendation is now used to represent date and time.
