[Twisted-Python] SOAP and XML-RPC stuff

[Andrew Dalke]

http://www.twistedmatrix.com/documents/howto/xmlrpc

Has a link under

  "In addition, XML-RPC published methods can return  
twisted.python.defer.Deferred"

The last word is hyperlinked to
    
http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/TwistedDocs/current/api/public/ 
twisted.python.defer.Deferred.html

which does not exist.
   ==
http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/TwistedDocs/current/api/public/ 
twisted.web.xmlrpc.XMLRPC.html
says
  Faults,  Binray, Boolean, DateTime, Deferreds, or Handler instances.

typo: "Binray" --> "Binary"

Here's a patch to work with SOAPpy 0.10

Or, in short version, change

# SOAPpy
import SOAP

to

# SOAPpy
try:
   import SOAPpy as SOAP
except ImportError:
   import SOAP

   # fix 2.2 issues with SOAP
   SOAP.SOAPBuilder.dump_str = SOAP.SOAPBuilder.dump_string
   SOAP.SOAPBuilder.dump_dict = SOAP.SOAPBuilder.dump_dictionary

(I checked - 0.10 handles the typename changes from 2.2)

How do I run both an XML-RPC and a SOAP server on the same server?
I tried something like

def main():
     from twisted.internet.app import Application
     app = Application("xmlrpc")

     r = XMLRPC_Calc()
     app.listenTCP(7080, server.Site(r))

     r = SOAP_Calc()
     app.listenTCP(7080, server.Site(r))

     return app

application = main()

if __name__ == "__main__":
     application.run(save=0)


But that doesn't work - the SOAP requests go to the XML-RPC server.
Is there some way to say that "/RPC2" is for XML-RPC and that "/SOAP"
is for SOAP?
