= Kaukolu XML-RPC API =
Kaukolu can be queried and contacted through an XML-RPC API. This is for developers who wish to contact a running kaukoluwiki server and remotely trigger functions.

We use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML-RPC XML-RPC] for communication, a nice and simple protocol.
There is helpful documentation at [http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/WikiRPCInterface JSPwiki.org about the xml-rpc] api.

The classes used as XML-RPC handlers are here:
 * source:trunk/kaukolu/src/de/opendfki/kaukoluwiki/xmlrpc

We have '''different XML-RPC implementations''' so we may '''not support the normal JSPWiki RPC methods!''' Refer to your web.xml file where the class com.ecyrd.jspwiki.xmlrpc.RPCServlet is registered - there the actual XML-RPC implementation handler is selected (from multiple available ones).
Look at the registered class - its methods you can call.

To contact a running kaukoluwiki server, try thise addresses (assuming we run on localhost):
 * http://localhost:8080/kaukolu/RPC2/
 * http://localhost:8080/kaukolu/RPCU/

A simple example using Apache's XML-RPC client to contact kaukolu:
{{{
XmlRpcClient client = new XmlRpcClient("http://localhost:8080/kaukolu/RPC2/");
Vector params = new Vector();
Object result = client.execute("wiki.getRPCVersionSupported", params);
System.out.println(result.getClass().getName()+" - "+result);
}}}
