Package org.apache.xmlrpc.client

Class XmlRpcClient

java.lang.Object

org.apache.xmlrpc.common.XmlRpcController

org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClient

public class XmlRpcClient
extends XmlRpcController

The main access point of an XML-RPC client. This object serves mainly as an object factory. It is designed with singletons in mind: Basically, an application should be able to hold a single instance of XmlRpcClient in a static variable, unless you would be working with different factories.

Until Apache XML-RPC 2.0, this object was used both as an object factory and as a place, where configuration details (server URL, suggested encoding, user credentials and the like) have been stored. In Apache XML-RPC 3.0, the configuration details has been moved to the XmlRpcClientConfig object. The configuration object is designed for being passed through the actual worker methods.

A configured XmlRpcClient object is thread safe: In other words, the suggested use is, that you configure the client using setTransportFactory(XmlRpcTransportFactory) and similar methods, store it in a field and never modify it again. Without modifications, the client may be used for an arbitrary number of concurrent requests.

Since:

3.0

Method Details

getDefaultXmlRpcWorkerFactory

protected XmlRpcWorkerFactory getDefaultXmlRpcWorkerFactory()

Description copied from class: XmlRpcController

Creates the controllers default worker factory.

Specified by:

getDefaultXmlRpcWorkerFactory in class XmlRpcController

Returns:

The default factory for workers.

setConfig

public void setConfig(XmlRpcClientConfig pConfig)

Sets the clients default configuration. This configuration is used by the methods execute(String, List), execute(String, Object[]), and execute(XmlRpcRequest). You may overwrite this per request by using execute(XmlRpcClientConfig, String, List), or execute(XmlRpcClientConfig, String, Object[]).

Parameters:

pConfig - The default request configuration.

getConfig

public XmlRpcConfig getConfig()

Returns the clients default configuration. This configuration is used by the methods execute(String, List), execute(String, Object[]). You may overwrite this per request by using execute(XmlRpcClientConfig, String, List), or execute(XmlRpcClientConfig, String, Object[]).

Specified by:

getConfig in class XmlRpcController

Returns:

The default request configuration.

getClientConfig

public XmlRpcClientConfig getClientConfig()

Returns the clients default configuration. Shortcut for (XmlRpcClientConfig) getConfig(). This configuration is used by the methods execute(String, List), execute(String, Object[]). You may overwrite this per request by using execute(XmlRpcClientConfig, String, List), or execute(XmlRpcClientConfig, String, Object[])

Returns:

The default request configuration.

setTransportFactory

public void setTransportFactory(XmlRpcTransportFactory pFactory)

Sets the clients transport factory. The client will invoke the factory method XmlRpcTransportFactory.getTransport() for any request.

Parameters:

pFactory - The clients transport factory.

getTransportFactory

public XmlRpcTransportFactory getTransportFactory()

Returns the clients transport factory. The client will use this factory for invocation of XmlRpcTransportFactory.getTransport() for any request.

Returns:

The clients transport factory.

execute
