Services may be implemented in any language provided they provide a conformant implementation. This module uses the CGI module to parse HTTP headers, and the JSON module to manipulate the JSON body. A simple, but typical exchange might be: client->server: {"service":"qooxdoo.test","method":"echo","id":1,"params":["Hello"],"server_data":null} server->client: {"id":1,"result":"Client said: [Hello]"} Here the service 'qooxdoo.test' is requested to run a method called 'echo' with an argument 'Hello'. This Perl implementation will locate a module called Qooxdoo::Services::qooxdoo::test (corresponding to Qooxoo/Services/qooxdoo/test.pm in Perl's library path). It will then execute the function Qooxdoo::Services::qooxdoo::test::echo with the supplied arguments. The function will receive the error object as the first argument, and subsequent arguments are supplied by the remote call. Your method call would therefore start with something equivalent to: my $error = shift; my @params = @_; See test.pm for how to deal with errors and return responses. The response is sent back with the corresponding id (essential for asynchronous calls). The protocol also provides an exception handling mechanism, where a response is formatted something like: {"error":{"origin":2,"code":23,"message":"This is an application-provided error"},"id":21} There are 4 error origins: =over 4 =item * JsonRpcError_Origin_Server 1 The error occurred within the server. =item * JsonRpcError_Origin_Application 2 The error occurred within the application. =item * JsonRpcError_Origin_Transport 3 The error occurred somewhere in the communication (not raised in this module). =item * JsonRpcError_Origin_Client 4 The error occurred in the client (not raised in this module). =back For Server errors, there are also some predefined error codes. =over 4 =item * JsonRpcError_Unknown 0 The cause of the error was not known. =item * JsonRpcError_IllegalService 1 The Service name was not valid, typically due to a bad character in the name. =item * JsonRpcError_ServiceNotFound 2 The Service was not found. In this implementation this means that the module containing the Service could not be found in the library path. =item * JsonRpcError_ClassNotFound 3 This means the class could not be found with, is not actually raised by this implementation. =item * JsonRpcError_MethodNotFound 4 The method could not be found. This is raised if a function cannot be found with the method name in the requested package namespace. Note: In Perl, modules (files containing functionality) and packages (namespaces) are closely knitted together, but there need not be a one-for-one correspondence -- packages can be shared across multiple modules, or a module can use multiple packages. This module assumes a one-for-one correspondence by looking for the method in the same namespace as the module name. =item * JsonRpcError_ParameterMismatch 5 This is typically raised by individual methods when they do not receive the parameters they are expecting. =item * JsonRpcError_PermissionDenied 6 Again, this error is raised by individual methods. Remember that RPC calls need to be as secure as the rest of your application! =back There is also some infrastructure to allow access control on methods depending on the relationship of the referer. Have a look at test.pm to see how this can be done by defining C which returns one of the following for a supplied method name: =over 4 =item * Accessibility_Public ("public") The method may be called from any session, and without any checking of who the Referer is. =item * Accessibility_Domain ("domain") The method may only be called by a script obtained via a web page loaded from this server. The Referer must match the request URI, through the domain part. =item * Accessibility_Session ("session") The Referer must match the Referer of the very first RPC request issued during the session. =item * Accessibility_Fail ("fail") Access is denied =back =head1 AUTHOR Nick Glencross Enick.glencross@gmail.comE =cut 1;
