内容説明
This text introduces the simple but powerful capabilities of XML-RPC, a system for remote procedure calls built on XML and the HTTP protocol. XML-RPC lets developers connect programs running on different computers with a minimum of fuss, by wrapping procedure calls in XML and establishing simple pathways for calling functions. With XML-RPC, Java programs can talk to Perl scripts, which can talk to Python programs, ASP applications, and so on. Developers can provide access to functionality without having to worry about the system on the other end, so it's easy to create Web services. This book supplies the details of both the XML-RPC specification and various XML-RPC implementations, so you can get started developing distributed applications in Java, Perl, Python, ASP, or PHP.

Programming Web Services with XML-RPC explains how to use XML over HTTP to build distributed applications. This of course is the realm of SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), which is an evolving W3C standard. XML-RPC is not SOAP, although the two have a common ancestry. XML-RPC has fewer features than SOAP, and is procedural rather than object-orientated. On the plus side, it is a stable, practical and easy-to-use standard.
After a couple of chapters introducing XML-RPC, this short book gets straight down to the nitty-gritty of implementing solutions in a variety of languages. There is a chapter each on Java, Perl, PHP, Python, and ASP (Active Server Pages). Each chapter explains where to find XML-RPC libraries, and how to create both client and server applications, complete with snippets of example code. Although few readers will be working with all these technologies, the diversity demonstrates how effectively XML-RPC bridges different languages and platforms. By way of illustration, one of the ASP examples shows how to talk to Microsoft Access from Linux, a common real-world problem in mixed-platform environments.
The closing chapter gives the wider picture, showing where to find public XML-RPC services, offering design tips, and explaining how to choose between XML-RPC and SOAP. There is an appendix covering XML basics, and a second one offering a brief introduction to HTTP. For anyone who has looked at SOAP and found it bewilderingly complex, XML-RPC and this book could well be the answer. --Tim Anderson

Good coverage of a new topic
2001/7/13
形式:ペーパーバック
As with most O'Reilly books, this one is a comprehensive treatment of an emerging technology, and is probably destined to become a standard reference on the subject as it moves into mainstream development. Unfortunately, it is not without its flaws.
The book does an excellent job of covering What XML-RPC is, what it does, and how it can be used from a variety of programming environmments to build web-services, including touching on my web-development environment of choice, Zope.
Notable in it's absence however (and the reason I gave this book four stars instead of five), is any mention in the book's main text of the environment that spawned XML-RPC, UserLand Frontier. Although Dave Winer (creator of Frontier) wrote the foreword to the book, I think that some coverage should have been given to using Frontier with XML-RPC.
I could wish that the subject of designing web services had taken center-stage, rather than some specific implementations, but the design of web-services is covered more than adequately in chapter eight.
Make no mistake, this is an excellent book, especially if you build web applications in any of the five programming environments covered (Perl, Python, ASP, PHP, Java), and I can reccomend it wholeheartedly to anyone who is creating or designing web-services.

All About XML-RPC in Five Languages
2002/1/9
形式:ペーパーバック
This book explains fully how to use XML-RPC in five languages: Java, PHP, Perl, Python, and ASP. Becuase XML-RPC is so simple to use (I got it working for both Java and PHP), it does not take much explanation to set up this technology and actually use it. This book is a good up-to-date reference for this technology, which will has been established and is being implemented in more and more languages as time progresses, making this technology an alternative to CORBA.
This is a small book, because the subject is very easy and fast to learn. By using the Universal Language XML, This technology enables programs in one language to call procedures in programs in another language across the internet, regardless of firewalls, because it runs on HTTP.
Some of the possibilities of using XML-RPC are in SOAP applications, distributed applications, even internet games.

good intro for XML/RPC
2002/10/21
形式:ペーパーバック
Good coverage but a bit repetitive since it explains
the same thing for each of several languages. Only
read the chapters you need... Sadly XML/RPC seems
to be losing ground to .NET/SOAP which is a shame
coz RPC is much simpler and less bandwidth intensive.
