Server

class compas.rpc.Server

Bases: SimpleXMLRPCServer

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

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 alive, and can be cleanly terminated.

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()
