I have a newly developed RESTful interface to an existing server using
C::C::REST. Works nicely -- Catalyst is a very nice tool, and the REST
extensions are very helpful.
The server has existing services that are orthogonal to the RESTful
interface. I don't really wish to RESTify them so I'd like to expose
them as XML-RPC.
Per the tutorial (http://search.cpan.org/~michiel/Catalyst-Plugin-Server-0.24/lib/Catalyst/Plugin/Server/XMLRPC/Tutorial.pod
) I added "Server Serve::XMLRPC" to my "use Catalyst" line.
I now receive this:
-------
RestRPC has a custom request class Catalyst::Plugin::Server::Request,
which is not a Catalyst::Request::REST; see Catalyst::Request::REST
at /Library/Perl/5.8.8/Catalyst/Request/REST.pm line 29.
Compilation failed in require at script/restrpc_server.pl line 55.
-------
I see this in the REST doc:
-------
Note that if you have a custom request class in your application, and
it does
not inherit from C<Catalyst::Request::REST>, your application will
fail with an
error indicating a conflict the first time it tries to use
C<Catalyst::Request::REST>'s functionality. To fix this error, make
sure your
custom request class inherits from C<Catalyst::Request::REST>.
-------
but that doesn't seems like an option here. (These are peers, not
parent/child classes)
Am I missing something obvious?
Is there another way to do XML-RPC + REST?
Seems like I could just handle the POSTs with non-ActionClass('REST')
methods -- but then it becomes "not quite XML-RPC".
Thanks,
Bruce
