jOpenSim and XmlRpc

Yes! That guy seems to know his stuff, he even has a javascript library for building xmlrpc and jsonrpc clients!
I hope this helps with your development.

Hi MTeegardin

Yes! Every constructive feedback is very welcome I think you already discovered a jOpenSim repository in GitHub. Stay tuned, content will follow there soon I lately get help from jjandtkalt who will dig into the last issues concerning PHP8 and xmlrpc and I hope we will be able to fill this repository with a J4 ready version in quite near future.

We both have a RL to "struggle" with, so I better dont promise any specific date but be sure we try our best to get jOpenSim back on track for Joomla4/5 and PHP8 as soon as possible

Yes, I did find that! Good job! I will be closely watching it.
Also, if you ever need a test dummy I have J3!, J4! and J5! sites at the ready.

I have a couple of questions for you and would value your advise.

Maybe you could find time to email me?

Hi there
So, why not JSON and OSDMaps ? are we forced to use XmlRpc thingies ?!?

Thank you

Joomla uses json so it is already a factor. However, Opensimulator requires xmlrpc to function.

Hi MTeegardin
Based on my code exploration and modest experience with opensim... i think is possible to replace xmlrpc with json in the majority of the comms between JOpenSim and OpenSim using Server.AddHTTPHandler(endpoint, handler) to create the endpoints and use OSDMap to handle the json data... for the rest, JOpenSim can take what it needs directly from the OS database.

This may need to create a dedicated connector (OS module) for JOpenSim that do the serialization/deserialization job in C# and also may convert the textures to binary string or base64... so, JOpenSim will get a ready to use json...

Thank you

Hiya WebRain

I think the handler change would be a possible solution for search, profile and maybe even money ... but groups are another issue ... unless you're willing to re-write flotsam for us with jsonrpc

I definitely dont have any intention for it
