Feedback on the XmlRpcContrib package

-- MichaelDaum - 29 May 2006

I think I can foresee the answer, but how this contrib relates to the current TWiki REST interface?

-- RafaelAlvarez - 29 May 2006

I tried to use TWiki's REST interface for XML-RPC but failed so far. See Bugs:Item2362. So for now I went the obvious way and added a xmlrpc cgi that uses TWiki::UI::run. From that point on there is no obvious advantage to use REST. REST is just a nice way to construct an url to call the rpc dispatcher, not the dispatched procedures themselves. XML-RPC has its own means for that.

Thanks for sharing this Plugin with the TWikiCommunity! This is very much in line with the TWikiMission; TWiki is getting more powerful, and there are more choices to integrate TWiki with other enterprise systems.

First public release.

Thanks Micha for sharing this code!

The [[%ATTACHURL%/%TOPIC%.zip][Download]] link fails if this Contrib is installed; it works only here on TWiki.org. Better to write the full URL [[http://twiki.org/p/pub/Plugins/%TOPIC%/%TOPIC%.zip][Download]]. Actually I think it is better to keep the original text "Download the ZIP file from the Plugin web (see below)" (and fix the viewfile issue.)
