Good
day.
I am new to
using XML-RPC, however, it appears to fit a niche for a current project I am
developing.
The project
is a wireless, handheld, data-gathering, java application.
The
application will gather data on the handheld as well as images, compile those
into XML format, and then send them to a central server over cellular modem for
processing.
The server
will accept simple HTTP requests.
The server
will also, upon request, send XML data back to the handheld for
processing.
XML-RPC
appears to be exactly what we are looking for to perform this send/receive
procedure.
Now, the
questions I have are few and may become more and I read through the spec for
XML-RPC.
To
begin:
1) All of the examples I see for XML-RPC include the
calling of a method to perform some action and return a result for that action.
In
my example, I am just curious
if instead of sending some arguments to process, I simply want to send files as
my arguments for the server
to handle. I would assume this is
quite easy to perform, but just wanted to know if others had done this.
Thoughts?
2) In correlation to #1 I am looking
to send across images as well that would relate to information in the XML file.
I would assume once
again that this is quite similar if
not identical to the implementation above. Has anyone had experience using
XML-RPC for this type of
procedure?
Thanks in
advance for any insight and advice.
Sincerely,
