NAME
RPC::XML::Parser - Interface for parsers created by
RPC::XML::ParserFactory
SYNOPSIS
This class is not instantiated directly; see RPC::XML::ParserFactory.
DESCRIPTION
The RPC::XML::Parser class encapsulates the interface for the parsing
process. It is an empty class that is used in conjuntion with the
RPC::XML::ParserFactory class.
All parser implementations that are intended to be returned by calls to
RPC::XML::ParserFactory::new() should declare this as their parent
class.
SUBROUTINES/METHODS
This class provides empty implementations for the following methods. A
parser implementation must provide definitions for both of these
methods. If the versions from this class are triggered they will throw
exceptions ("die").
The descriptions below define the interface that implementations must
adhere to.
new([ARGS])
Create a new instance of the class. Any extra data passed to the
constructor is taken as key/value pairs (not a hash reference) and
attached to the object.
The following parameters are currently recognized:
base64_to_fh
If passed with a true value, this tells the parser that
incoming Base64 data is to be spooled to a filehandle opened
onto an anonymous temporary file. The file itself is
unlinked after opening, though the resulting
RPC::XML::base64 object can use its "to_file" method to save
the data to a specific file at a later point. No checks on
size are made; if this option is set, all Base64 data goes
to filehandles.
base64_temp_dir
If this argument is passed, the value is taken as the
directory under which the temporary files are created. This
is so that the application is not locked in to the list of
directories that File::Spec defaults to with its "tmpdir"
method. If this is not passed, the previously-mentioned
method is used to derive the directory in which to create
the temporary files. Only relevant if base64_to_fh is set.
The "base64*" parameters do not have to be implemented if the user
has no plans to use the "to_file" method of the RPC::XML::base64
data-class.
As a special-case, to preserve backwards compatibility with pre-0.69
versions of this package, new() has special behavior when
specifically called for the package RPC::XML::Parser. When called
for this package, the constructor quietly loads
RPC::XML::ParserFactory and uses it to construct and return an
instance of a parser based on XML::Parser.
parse [ STRING | STREAM ]
Parse the XML document specified in either a string or a stream. The
stream may be any file descriptor, derivative of IO::Handle, etc.
The value returned must be one of the following:
RPC::XML::request instance
When passed a valid XML-RPC request message, the return value
should be an instance of the RPC::XML::request class.
RPC::XML::response instance
Likewise, when passed a valid XML-RPC response, the return value
should be an instance of the RPC::XML::response class.
string containing an error message
If the message does not conform to either a request or a
response, or does not properly parse, the return value must be a
string containing the error message.
A non-blocking (push) parser instance
If no arguments are passed in, the return value must be a parser
object that implements push-parsing (non-blocking). It does not
have to be of the same class as the original object, but it must
support the remaining two methods
The next two methods are only called on push-parser instances, and as
such do not have to be implemented by the actual factory-compatible
parser. It is enough if the non-blocking parser instance it returns from
the no-argument call to parse() implements these:
parse_more STRING
Send a chunk of the current XML document to the parser for
processing.
parse_done
Signal the end of parsing. The return value from this should be one
of the same three possibilities that the direct use of parse()
(above) returns:
RPC::XML::request instance
RPC::XML::response instance
string containing an error message
parse_done() may also signal an error by throwing an exception.
DIAGNOSTICS
Unless otherwises specified, routines return the object reference itself
upon a successful operation, and an error string (which is not a blessed
reference) upon error.
