XML-RPC is a simple, lightweight Web services technology that predates
SOAP. In this installment of the Python Web services developer, Mike
Olson and Uche Ogbuji examine the XML-RPC facilities in Python.<br>XML-RPC is the granddaddy of XML Web services. It is a simple
specification for remote procedure calls (RPC) that uses HTTP as the
transport protocol and an XML vocabulary as the message payload. It has
become very popular because of its simplicity (the full specification
is less than ten printed pages), and most languages now have standard
or readily available XML-RPC implementations. This includes Python,
which started bundling xmlrpclib, an XML-RPC implementation by Fredrik
Lundh, in version 2.2. Joe Johnston's IBM developerWorks article "Using
XML-RPC for Web services" (see <a href="http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ws-pyth10.html#resources">Resources</a>)
covers the basics of XML-RPC in the first three sections. Start there
if you need to review the basic technology. In this article, we will
focus on using the Python implementation. You must have Python 2.2. to
run the examples in this article. Also, in the last article, we looked
at the relative performance of XML-RPC, SOAP, and other distributed
programming technologies. You may want to read that before making major
decisions to deploy XML-RPC.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 10, 2008 at 11:03 PM, Heshan Suriyaarachchi <<a href="mailto:heshan.suri@gmail.com">heshan.suri@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<span>Hi,<br> I have been working with web services for some
time now. I have used mainly java to do it. When writing a service
client in python, does ZSI or SOAPpy support WS-Security, WS-Reliable
Messaging, WS-Addressing. If so can anyone point me to a sample code or
an article.</span><br clear="all"><font color="#888888"><br>-- <br>Regards,<br>Heshan Suriyaarachchi<br><br><a href="http://heshans.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://heshans.blogspot.com/</a>
