On 23 januari '09 XMLRPC was partly removed from the 1.6
trunk by Anthony and Louis. The map /xmlrp and its contents were removed but the
xmlrpc library is still present in /libraries/phpxmlrpc.
I haven't come across statements about changing XMLRPC
support for J1.6. In any case it isn't mentioned in "revisiting the J1.6
roadmap". Have I missed something?
Would someone please be so kind to inform me and the
world about the status of XMLRPC support in J1.6.
I'm developing a component which heavenly relies on
XMLRPC so this kind of worries me. Possibly it is
removed because it is being reworked. So maybe i should not be worried 
.

BTW
Keep up the great work you all are doing.

Hans,
What we have done is to remove the separate XMLRPC application from the trunk and made way for a new method of handling service requests. It is no longer necessary to have an XMLRPC plugin group to handle XMLRPC requests that end up proxying the logic and data structures within a component anyway.
In your component, we'll say com_foo, designed using the MVC pattern you may have a need to handle lots of "task-based" requests. Things like edit, save, delete, etc. Often, when this happens it is helpful to use more than one controller to break out code sections to smaller, more maintainable parts. Doing this you might have the following structure:
/components/com_foo/
/components/com_foo/controllers/c1.php
/components/com_foo/controllers/c2.php
/components/com_foo/models/
...
/components/com_foo/views/
...
/components/com_foo/controller.php
/components/com_foo/foo.php
This allows you to segment out grouped tasks into separate controllers. In this example you can see that there is a c1.php controller and a c2.php controller.
In 1.5, you would need to have some logic in your base foo.php to determine which controller gets included and executed based on some request variables, etc.
In 1.6, there is a new convention based way of achieving this behavior as well as adding in service requests.
/components/com_foo/
/components/com_foo/controllers/c1.php
/components/com_foo/controllers/c1.xmlrpc.php
/components/com_foo/controllers/c1.json.php
/components/com_foo/controllers/c2.php
/components/com_foo/models/
...
/components/com_foo/views/
...
/components/com_foo/controller.php
/components/com_foo/foo.php
If you have a look at this version of the com_foo component, you will notice a couple of extra files. In the controllers folder you now have c1.xmlrpc.php and c1.json.php. These controllers are where the logic to handle service calls to the c1 controller tasks would live. Lets assume that the controller class in c1.php has only one method/task, bar.
class FooControllerC1 extends JController
{
function bar()
{
echo 'Hello World';
// Exit the application.
}
}
If you wanted to allow an XMLRPC service request for this controller, you would simply create c1.xmlrpc.php as shown in the second folder structure and define the methods/tasks that you want to handle:
class FooControllerC1 extends JController
{
function bar()
{
// Get an XMLRPC server object and de-serialize the request payload.
// Run method logic.
// Build XMLRPC response payload.
// Output XMLRPC response payload.
// Exit the application.
}
}
You will also notice in the second folder structure, that there is a c1.json.php. As you can imagine, this class is pretty straightforward as well.
class FooControllerC1 extends JController
{
function bar()
{
echo json_encode('Hello World');
// Exit the application.
}
}
As you can see, controllers can be built up to handle as many different types of service requests as you want for whatever types of tasks you want, within your standard component folders. It would also be trivial to turn services on/off with simple conditional statements and component configuration settings.
The standard way of requesting these various controllers/methods by convention is something like:
index.php?option=com_foo&task={CONTROLLER}.{TASK}&protocol={SERVICE_TYPE}
So, if we wanted to send a request to the bar method in controller c1 via XMLRPC the URL to use would simply be:
index.php?option=com_foo&task=c1.bar&protocol=xmlrpc
Similarly if we want the JSON service protocol:
index.php?option=com_foo&task=c1.bar&protocol=json
Just to use the base c1.php controller you remove the &protocol={SERVICE_TYPE} variable from the request URL.
In Joomla 1.6, JController has a new getInstance() method that handles this dispatching of the correct controllers for you based on the request variables.
We most certainly are not getting rid of the ability to utilize XMLRPC in your components, we are simply trying to make it more consistent and cohesive with the rest of the system.
Hope that helps,
Louis

@Louis
Thank you very much for your detailed description. Glad
that XML-RPC is here to stay 
Will have a long hard look at it when I'm reworking my
component.
@Rob
I have put this text on the wiki. Don't know if it is
correctly done. It is just copy-paste with a bit of mark-up. You can find it
here http://docs.joomla.org/Xml-rpc#XML-RPC_changes_in_J1.6.

@Louis (and others involved in XMLRPC),
Did you consider upgrading the phpxmlrpc library? In the
trunk it is still version 2.2 from 25/02/07.
At the moment the phpxmlrpc workgroup is @ 2.2.2. Indeed
no big changes. Some minor optimization was done and a few bugs were handled. So
it is probably save to upgrade without breaking things.
For your convienience I hereby include the changelog
since v2.2
Hans.

Are there any thoughts on providing a way to do introspection similar
to the way the old application had the onGetWebServices event that
could be used to get a list of all web services available on the site?
(well, XMLRPC services)
I guess all we need is to figure out where to locate this and
implement the call there. Though we would have to traverse our
directory for controllers and find their methods.

Hi Hans,
looking at the sourceforge-project of phpxmlrpc, they have a bug in
2.2.2 that wont make it work on PHP5.2.2. If you could contact them and
get a fixed version that will work in 5.2.2, make a patch and put it
into the feature patch tracker and I will put it into 1.6. :-)

Hi Hannes,
I examined the bug a bit and it turns out that the problem is not in the
phpXmlRpc library but it's a bug in PHP 5.2.2 (see
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41293).
There is a simple fix available and this fixed has already been included in
phpXmlRpc 2.2.2 (according to bug tracker
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1720919&group_id=34455&atid=411302).
the fix is a simple test for the php version and filling a global variable
which does not contain the correct data
if (phpversion()=="5.2.2") {
$GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'] = file_get_contents("php://input");
}
But the message on the frontpage of the phpXmlRpc project has been put there
for a reason. At the moment I do not have PHP 5.2.2 available. So testing is
difficult. But I have sent a message to the project maintainers asking them
for clarification. As soon as I get a response I will return to this list.
BTW if a new version of phpXmlRpc is published then it would be php5 only.
I'm not sure if that is in accordance with minimum requirements for J1.6. If
not we probably would have to stick to the current version of phpXmlRpc.
Hans.

1.6 is php5 exclusive. :-)

As the current maintainer of the lib,
- I can assure you that the issue with php 5.2.2 has been fixed in
phpxmlrpc 221 and 222. So it is one more reason to upgrade from 220
- I started recently the port of the lib to php5-only. The current
version works fine, but the new one will remove old cruft that has
been in there for a long time. No release date planned yet. Any
critical bugs found (quite unlikely given the lib age and maturity)
will end up in a 223 release anyway
- I cannot restrain myself from sponsoring the busage of the sister
lib phpjsorpc to implement jsonrpc-based interfaces, too (it is found
in extras package of the phpxmlrpc download area). There is even a js
version of the lib that implements the same api client-side if needed!
