xml-rpc for Kotlin/Jvm

Kotlin binding for xml-rpc

Add the dependency to your project

Client dependency using Ktor

implementation("org.ascheja.xmlrpc:ktor-client-xmlrpc:VERSION")

Server dependency using Ktor

implementation("org.ascheja.xmlrpc:ktor-server-xmlrpc:VERSION")

If you want to provide the transport yourself and just need the protocol

implementation("org.ascheja.xmlrpc:protocol:VERSION")

Getting started

Client

val client: HttpClient = createHttpClient()
val call = MethodCall("some-method", IntegerValue(42), StringValue("some-string"))
val response = client.xmlRpc("https://some-server/rpc", call) as MethodResponseSuccess // or check for MethodResponseFault if you set the parameter `throwOnFault = false`
val firstParam = response.params.firstOrNull() as? StringValue ?: error("expected first parameter of response to be a StringValue")

Server

embeddedServer(Netty) {
    routing {
        xmlRpc("/rpc") { request ->
            when (request.methodName) {
                "ping" -> MethodResponseSuccess(StringValue("pong"))
                else -> MethodResponseFault(42, "unknown method ${request.methodName}")
            }
        }
    }
}.start(wait = true)
