Server.register_instance

Server.register_instance(instance, allow_dotted_names=False)

Registers an instance to respond to XML-RPC requests.

Only one instance can be installed at a time.

If the registered instance has a _dispatch method then that method will be called with the name of the XML-RPC method and its parameters as a tuple e.g. instance._dispatch(‘add’,(2,3))

If the registered instance does not have a _dispatch method then the instance will be searched to find a matching method and, if found, will be called. Methods beginning with an ‘_’ are considered private and will not be called by SimpleXMLRPCServer.

If a registered function matches an XML-RPC request, then it will be called instead of the registered instance.

If the optional allow_dotted_names argument is true and the instance does not have a _dispatch method, method names containing dots are supported and resolved, as long as none of the name segments start with an ‘_’.

* SECURITY WARNING: *

Enabling the allow_dotted_names options allows intruders to access your module’s global variables and may allow intruders to execute arbitrary code on your machine. Only use this option on a secure, closed network.
