Lecture slides and activities on XMLRPC

In 2003 I gave a lecture on Distributed Computing at the University of Luton. Approximately two weeks have been devoted to XMLRPC and for that I produced a number of slides and activities.

Just in case that somebody else finds this material helpful here it is.

• Introduction into XMLRPC: intro.ppt (PowerPoint) intro.pdf (pdf), html..
• The XMLRPC specification: spec.ppt (PowerPoint) spec.pdf (pdf), html.
• Activity 1: Hello World.
• Activity 2: A simple chat.
• The assignment (on CORBA and XMLRPC): word, pdf, html; with marking scheme: word, pdf, html.
• Some miscellaneous Resources on XMLRPC.

The Java package cis69mc.jar mentioned in the activities is identical with the package provided at http://xml.apache.org/xmlrpc with the single addition that the class uk.co.wilson.xml.MinML has four additional lines. Here is the modified version of MinML.java and the rest of the source code is here: xmlrpc-1.2-b1-src.tar.gz (for the latest version please see directly the apache repository.)

In January 2005 I gave a presentation at JICC9 (Java and the Internet in the Computing Curriculum Conference) about the material presented on this web site: The paper: pdf, the presentation: ppt, pdf.

What is identity in the context of distributed applications (as web services, grids, or ubiquitous networks, etc)? These slides have been used in November 2006 to address this: ppt or pdf

A couple of slides on CORBA.
