[ANN] Jabber-RPC

[Massimiliano Mirra - bard]

Ever thought it would be nice to call objects located anywhere in the
world, without bothering with static IPs, DNS, Apache, CGI, NAT, PAT,
gateways, authentication, and so on?

Jabber-RPC lets you do this. On the callee side you have:

require "jabber/rpc"

class TestAgent < Jabber::RPC::BasicAgent
def exposed_commands
["alive?"]
end

def alive?
true
end
end

agent = TestAgent.new("(e-mail address removed)/TestAgent", "bot")
agent.connect


On caller, you have:

session = Jabber::Session.bind("user@jabberserver/Ruby", "user")
remote_agent = Jabber::RPC::Client.new(session, "(e-mail address removed)/TestAgent").proxy3
remote_agent.alive? #=> true


And with a bit more code, remote users can talk to the object through
an IM client, too.

Jabber-RPC lets you do this. On the callee side you have:

A proper install procedure:
mkdir lib/jabber -p
mv rpc.rb lib/jabber/rpc.rb
cp /path/to/setup.rb .

Then build as you would any setup.rbified package.
