[Jsonrpc-cpp-devel] Client abstract class - Send not virtual, Recv is

[Chris L. <chr...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm making a tool to remotely control a HTPC that runs XBMC. I want to
support both TCP and HTTP, but I noticed that for the derived clients,
TcpClient and HttpClient, the [ssize_t Send(const std::string& data)]
function is local to each derived class, and is not purely virtual from the
base Client class. I came into problems when I tried to construct the
clients from the base class depending on arguments supplied at runtime. For
example:

Json::Rpc::Client* client;
if(Args.getProto() == "tcp")
  {
    client = new Json::Rpc::TcpClient(Args.getHost(), Args.getPort());
  } else if(Args.getProto() == "http")
  {
    client = new Json::Rpc::HttpClient(Args.getHost(), Args.getPort());
  }
... builds queryStr ...
client->Send(queryStr);  <--- This causes error: 'class Json::Rpc::Client'
has no member named 'Send'

I'm new to Jsonrpc-cpp, so maybe I'm having a brain fart and I'm not seeing
why Send(const std::string& data) is not purely virtual. Anyone else ran
into problems like this? I haven't had the time to see if I can patch up
the library and make it work, I may do that later this weekend.

Regards,
Chris
