jimbydamonk: Nice! It'd be good to have the support in the core code, I'll look into adding it.

Cc: osimons added; Steffen Hoffmann removed
Owner: changed from Alec Thomas to Steffen Hoffmann

Note that TracTagsXmlrpcPlugin branch has been developed for Trac 0.10 and never changed after initial release.

While it looks like it could still work with Trac 0.11 or later, its tag system support is for tractags<=0.5. Obsolete as it is, there is not much to reuse from this plugin anymore.

I'll finally depreciate TracTagsXmlrpcPlugin after adding the XMLRPC functionality requested here.

Because I'm new to the RPC topic I would value code review, thoughts and suggestions on my proposed changes (untested), before I apply them to trunk.

Progressing. Seems like XMLRPC has some limitations I need deal with. According to my initial tests it cannot transfer any object. A few standard objects (like 'string', 'list', 'dict') are supported, 'tractags.api.Counter' (custom dict object) or 'set' object are not. This requires some type conversations.

Not sure, how to handle this one:

Trac[xml_rpc] ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/tracrpc/web_ui.py", line 158, in _rpc_process
    result = (XMLRPCSystem(self.env).get_method(method_name)(req, args))[0]
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/tracrpc/api.py", line 197, in __call__
    result = self.callable(req, *args)
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/tractags/xmlrpc.py", line 70, in getTags
    return self.tag_sys.get_tags(req, Resource(realm, id))
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/tractags/api.py", line 459, in get_tags
    .get_resource_tags(req, resource, when=when))
ServiceException: get_resource_tags() got an unexpected keyword argument 'when'

It doesn't like the extra argument that is implicitly added in the call signature of get_tags(). But what shall I do about it? Other calls to that method inside TagsPlugin work just fine.

Found this statement: XMLRPC does not allow passing parameters by name, only positional parameters.

So this is not specific to xmlrpclib but due to the specification, and using methods with keyword arguments is expected to fail. Consequently I need to work around and partially rewrite affected methods.
