Subject: [RFC] Xend XML-RPC Refactoring
Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2006 15:25:58 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43DFD5E6.7090909@us.ibm.com> (raw)

Hi,

I wanted to give the list a heads up about something a number of us 
discussed at the recent XenSummit.

We would like to simplify Xend by utilizing more of the standard Python 
library and relying on less of our own code.  The most obvious thing 
here is the current S-Expression/HTTP RPC interface.  We would like to 
replace this with XML-RPC using Python's builtin support (xmlrpclib and 
SimpleXMLRPCServer).

I've got some initial code and more details on the wiki 
(http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xend/XML-RPC).  Early estimates are 
that this would reduce the code in Xend by about 33% (5k slocs).  We 
would also like to standardize this XML-RPC interface so that 
third-parties write apps to this interface without worrying about 
massive breakage.

Thoughts?

Regards,

Anthony Liguori
