Re: [xmlrpcflash-development] objXMLRPC.GetResults()

[Isaac L. <is...@st...>]

Hello Geir,

This is a common issue with the xmlrpcflash lib.  In a nutshell, the=20
GetResults method is extremely dysfunctional (low DOM-style object=20
returns, with undefined object nodes that you just can't grab), and we=20=

have been slowly stewing over how to go about rewriting these return=20
methods.

For the moment, the best thing I can recommend is to use some other=20
method of parsing the xmprpc xml response in your actionscript.  A few=20=

of us have been experimenting with an actionscript implementation of=20
the w3c Xpath spec, and have recently been considering it to be used to=20=

construct the base for the GetResults rewrite.

http://xfactorstudio.com/projects/XPath/

The cool thing about xpath, is that it's been implemented as a standard=20=

vocabulary for SAX style node processing in many languages, including=20
recent versions of Python- so we'beleive it's worth consideration.

Sidenote to the entire list- whaddya think of this?  How are those=20
who've tried XPath doing with it?  How mature/stable does it feel?

And on a sideonte, I'm terrifically interested in Zope/Flash=20
cooperation as well, and would love to know what your thinking of doing=20=

with the two...


My best to you,
