NAME

Hessian::Client - RPC via Hessian with a remote server.

SYNOPSIS

use Hessian::Client;

my $client = Hessian::Client->new(
   version => 1,
   service => 'http://some.hessian.service/.....'
);

# Alternatively
my $client = Hessian::Client->new(
   version => 2,
   service => 'http://some.hessian.service/.....'
);


# RPC 
my $response = $hessian->remoteCall($arg1, $arg2, $arg3, ...);

DESCRIPTION

The goal of Hessian::Client and all associated classes in this namespace is to provide support for communication via the Hessian protocol in Perl. For a more detailed introduction into the Hessian protocol, see the main project documentation for http://hessian.caucho.com/doc/hessian-ws.html and http://www.caucho.com/resin-3.0/protocols/hessian-2.0-spec.xtp.

Hessian::Client implements basic RPC for Hessian. Although currently only tested with version 1, communication with version 2.0 servers should also work. I am currently looking for publicly available or otherwise accesible Hessian services for testing.

INTERFACE

new

Arguments
version

1 or 2 representing the respective version of Hessian the client should speak.

service

A url representing the location of a Hessian server.

BUILD

Not part of the public interface. See Class::Std documentation.

AUTOMETHOD

Not part of the public interface. See Class::Std documentation.

Note: Any method called on the client that is not defined in the public interface (so anything other than "new") will be processed into a Hessian call and posted to the service.

TODO

  • Testing with a Hessian 2.0 service. If anyone out there would be interested in helping with this I would be very grateful.

  • Work on messaging. RPC is only part of the Hessian protocol.

  • Make a POE filter for this perhaps.
