Package org.astrogrid.samp.xmlrpc

Class XmlRpcHubConnection

java.lang.Object

org.astrogrid.samp.xmlrpc.XmlRpcHubConnection

All Implemented Interfaces:

HubConnection

public abstract class XmlRpcHubConnection
extends java.lang.Object
implements HubConnection

Partial HubConnection implementation based on XML-RPC. No implementation is provided for the HubConnection.setCallable(org.astrogrid.samp.client.CallableClient) method. This is a useful base class for XML-RPC-based profile implementations, but it is not perfectly general: some assumptions, compatible with the Standard Profile, are made about the way that XML-RPC calls are mapped on to SAMP hub interface calls.
