Server

class compas.rpc.Server(addr, requestHandler=<class 'xmlrpc.server.SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler'>, logRequests=True, allow_none=False, encoding=None, bind_and_activate=True, use_builtin_types=False)[source]

Bases: xmlrpc.server.SimpleXMLRPCServer

Version of a SimpleXMLRPCServer that can be cleanly terminated from the client side.

Examples

# service.py

from compas.rpc import Server
from compas.rpc import Dispatcher

class DefaultService(Dispatcher):
    pass


if __name__ == '__main__':

    server = Server(("localhost", 8888))

    server.register_function(server.ping)
    server.register_function(server.remote_shutdown)
    server.register_instance(DefaultService())
    server.serve_forever()

Notes

This class has to be used by a service to start the XMLRPC server in a way that can be pinged to check if the server is live, and can be cleanly terminated.

Methods

`close_request`(request)	Called to clean up an individual request.
`fileno`()	Return socket file number.
`finish_request`(request, client_address)	Finish one request by instantiating RequestHandlerClass.
`get_request`()	Get the request and client address from the socket.
`handle_error`(request, client_address)	Handle an error gracefully.
`handle_request`()	Handle one request, possibly blocking.
`handle_timeout`()	Called if no new request arrives within self.timeout.
`ping`()	Simple function used to check if a remote server can be reached.
`process_request`(request, client_address)	Call finish_request.
`register_function`([function, name])	Registers a function to respond to XML-RPC requests.
`register_instance`(instance[, allow_dotted_names])	Registers an instance to respond to XML-RPC requests.
`register_introspection_functions`()	Registers the XML-RPC introspection methods in the system namespace.
`register_multicall_functions`()	Registers the XML-RPC multicall method in the system namespace.
`remote_shutdown`()
`serve_forever`([poll_interval])	Handle one request at a time until shutdown.
`server_activate`()	Called by constructor to activate the server.
`server_bind`()	Called by constructor to bind the socket.
`server_close`()	Called to clean-up the server.
`service_actions`()	Called by the serve_forever() loop.
`shutdown`()	Stops the serve_forever loop.
`shutdown_request`(request)	Called to shutdown and close an individual request.
`system_listMethods`()	system.listMethods() => [‘add’, ‘subtract’, ‘multiple’]
`system_methodHelp`(method_name)	system.methodHelp(‘add’) => “Adds two integers together”
`system_methodSignature`(method_name)	system.methodSignature(‘add’) => [double, int, int]
`system_multicall`(call_list)	system.multicall([{‘methodName’: ‘add’, ‘params’: [2, 2]}, …]) => [[4], …]
`verify_request`(request, client_address)	Verify the request.
