NAME

POE::Component::Server::JSONRPC - POE tcp or http based JSON-RPC server

SYNOPSIS

    #http version:
    POE::Component::Server::JSONRPC::Http->new(
        Port    => 3000,
        Handler => {
            'echo' => 'echo',
            'sum'  => 'sum',
        },
        SslKey  => '/path/to/the/server.key',
        SslCert => '/path/to/the/server.crt',
        Authenticate => \&authentication_handler,
        # authentication_handler must be a function that takes two parameters login and password,
        # and returns true if connection is successful, false otherwise
    );

    #tcp version:
    POE::Component::Server::JSONRPC::Tcp->new(
        Port    => 3000,
        Handler => {
            'echo' => 'echo',
            'sum'  => 'sum',
        },
    );

    sub echo {
        my ($kernel, $jsonrpc, $id, @params) = @_[KERNEL, ARG0..$#_ ];

        $kernel->post( $jsonrpc => 'result' => $id, @params );
    }

    sub sum {
        my ($kernel, $jsonrpc, $id, @params) = @_[KERNEL, ARG0..$#_ ];

        $kernel->post( $jsonrpc => 'result' => $id, $params[0] + $params[1] );
    }

DESCRIPTION

This module is a POE component for tcp or http based JSON-RPC Server.

The specification is defined on http://json-rpc.org/ and this module use JSON-RPC 1.0 spec (1.1 does not cover tcp streams)

METHODS

new

Create JSONRPC component session and return the session id.

Parameters:

Port

Port number for listen.

Handler

Hash variable contains handler name as key, handler poe state name as value.

Handler name (key) is used as JSON-RPC method name.

So if you send {"method":"echo"}, this module call the poe state named "echo".

HANDLER PARAMETERS

ARG0

A session id of PoCo::Server::JSONRPC itself.

ARG1

The id of the client you're treating, send that back in result/error.

ARG2 .. ARGN

JSONRPC argguments

ex) If you send following request

    {"method":"echo", "params":["foo", "bar"]}

then, "echo" handler is called and parameters is that ARG0 is component session id, ARG1 is client id, ARG2 "foo", ARG3 "bar".

HANDLER RESPONSE

You must call either "result" or "error" state in your handlers to response result or error.

ex:

   $kernel->post( $component_session_id => "result" => $client_id, "result value" )

$component_session_id is ARG0 in handler. If you do above, response is:

   {"result":"result value", "error":""}

POE METHODS

Inner method for POE states.

poe__start

poe_init_server

Should be defined in Http or Tcp

poe_input_handler

poe_result

poe_error

poe_send
