CAF Lib jsonrpc

This repository contains a CAF lib to asynchronously call services using a JSON-RPC transport.

API

lib/proxy_jsonrpc.js

Configuration Example

framework.json

None

ca.json

 "proxies" : [
     {
         "module": "caf_jsonrpc/proxy",
         "name": "jsonrpc",
         "description": "Invokes a method on a remote service using using a JSON-RPC transport\n Properties: <proxy> A url for an http proxy.\n",
         "env" : {
             "serviceXXX" : {
                "url":  "http://...."                 
             },
             "serviceYYY" : {
                 "url": "http://...whatever...",
             }
        }
      }
      ...
  ]

and your code can invoke that service as follows:

this.$.jsonrpc.invoke('serviceXXX', 'foo_method', [arg0, arg1...], cb)

where cb is a callback with standard node.js convention to return results/errors
