The class structure of these files is a little strange, and this README
|
|
explains it.
|
|
|
|
Our goal is to make JSON::RPC and XMLRPC::Lite both work with the same code.
|
|
(That is, we want to have one WebService API, and have two frontends for it.)
|
|
|
|
The problem is that these both pass different things for $self to WebService
|
|
methods.
|
|
|
|
When XMLRPC::Lite calls a method, $self is the name of the *class* the
|
|
method is in. For example, if we call Bugzilla.version(), the first argument
|
|
is Bugzilla::WebService::Bugzilla. So in order to have $self
|
|
(our first argument) act correctly in XML-RPC, we make all WebService
|
|
classes use base qw(Bugzilla::WebService).
|
|
|
|
When JSON::RPC calls a method, $self is the JSON-RPC *server object*. In other
|
|
words, it's an instance of Bugzilla::WebService::Server::JSONRPC. So we have
|
|
Bugzilla::WebService::Server::JSONRPC inherit from Bugzilla::WebService.
