method registering

[BobMessiaen]

Dear Beau,

We want to upgrade from version 3.4.2 to 4.2. But to me it looks like you cannot longer methods from a class (unless they are static methods)?
Is there a way you can you can add a method from a class (not a static method)?

Some sample code to illustrate what we were doing before:

class YYY
def xxxx(self):
pass

We registered the function as

yyy = YYY()
m = "xxxx"
methods.add(getattr(yyy, m), "yyy.{}".format(m))

where the jsonrpc method to access the function was:
yyy.xxxx

How can we achieve the same thing with version 4.2 ?

Thanks in advance for your response!

Bob

Methods can only be plain functions, however you can pass any object to the methods using context which should give you what you need.

This context argument is a life-saver!
In other json-rpc dispatchers I was more familiar with (like json-rpc for instance), I'd use a workaround: adding a partial object instead of the method signature.
But simply doing dispatch(request, context=self) works like a charm! Such a neat trick!
Great job. Thx

Yeah that’s right, just pass self as the context. If you need to pass more put it all in a dict.
