Re: [Pywebsvcs-talk] problems creating a server with dispatch.AsHandler

[Joshua B. <JRB...@lb...>]

The Binding is correct, that's not the problem.  But the dispatching  
doesn't match the Binding usage.

You should look at the updated docs, I go over how to do the  
dispatching correctly.  I added a couple Appendices where I go over  
these examples in detail.

So the thinking is you are using Binding as a SoapEncoded rpc  
client.  The messages it passes to dispatch or whoever needs to be  
interpreted as "rpc" style.  So dispatch needs to be configured as  
"rpc", and the callback methods need to return lists or dicts.  I  
didn't want to automatically wrap stuff because that complicates  
expected behavior.
