This is the README file for the XmlRpcClient application as part of version 1.0 of the Jala Javascript Library. About XmlRpcClient ------------------ The XmlRpcClient is a small Helma application useful to test and debug XmlRpc requests. Installation ------------ To install the application add the following to the apps.properties file in your Helma installation directory: xmlrpcclient xmlrpcclient.repository.0 = ./modules/jala/util/XmlRpcClient Usage Instructions ------------------ To access the XmlRpcClient point your browser to the URL http://your.server.domain[:port]/xmlrpcclient (replace "your.server.domain" with the domain of your server, and the ":port" section with the port number if not 80). Then fill out the form with at least the URL of the XmlRpc service and the method name (both are required). Optionally you can pass various arguments to the remote method using standard Javascript literal notation, eg.: String: "a string" Number: 1 Boolean: true|false Objec: {name: "jala"} Array: [1, 2, "three", 4] Date: new Date(2007, 0, 22, 15, 10) By default the XmlRpc client uses UTF-8 as encoding for request and response, which you can change to ISO-8859-1 if necessary. If you select the "Show Xml" checkbox the result shown will also contain the Xml source of the request and response, which is useful for debugging. At last you can tell the client to use a specific HTTP proxy for the requests, which you must define in the form "fqdn:port", eg. "my.proxy.com:3128".
