Method Details | [hide private]

### __init__(self, services=`{``}`, authenticator=None, expose_request=False, preprocessor=None, debug=None, strict=False)
(Constructor)

source code

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

Raises:
  - `TypeError` - `dict` type is required for `services`.
Overrides: object.__init__

### addService(self, service, name=None, description=None, authenticator=None, expose_request=None, preprocessor=None)

source code

Adds a service to the gateway.

Parameters:
  - `service` (`callable`, class instance, or a module) - The service to add to the gateway.
  - `name` (`str`) - The name of the service.
Raises:
  - `pyamf.remoting.RemotingError` - Service already exists.
  - `TypeError` - `service` cannot be a scalar value.
  - `TypeError` - `service` must be `callable` or a module.

### removeService(self, service)

source code

Removes a service from the gateway.

Parameters:
  - `service` (`callable` or a class instance) - The service to remove from the gateway.
Raises:
  - `NameError` - Service not found.

### getServiceRequest(self, request, target)

source code

Returns a service based on the message.

Parameters:
  - `request` (Request) - The AMF request.
Returns: ServiceRequest
Raises:
  - `UnknownServiceError` - Unknown service.

### getProcessor(self, request)

source code

Returns request processor.

Parameters:
  - `request` (Request) - The AMF message.

### getResponse(self, amf_request)

source code

Returns the response to the request.

Any implementing gateway must define this function.

Parameters:
  - `amf_request` (Envelope) - The AMF request.
Returns: Envelope
  The AMF response.

### mustExposeRequest(self, service_request)

source code

Decides whether the underlying http request should be exposed as the first argument to the method call. This is granular, looking at the service method first, then at the service level and finally checking the gateway.

Returns: `bool`

### getAuthenticator(self, service_request)

source code

Gets an authenticator callable based on the service_request. This is granular, looking at the service method first, then at the service level and finally to see if there is a global authenticator function for the gateway. Returns `None` if one could not be found.

### authenticateRequest(self, service_request, username, password, **kwargs)

source code

Processes an authentication request. If no authenticator is supplied, then authentication succeeds.

Returns: `bool`
  Returns a `bool` based on the result of authorization. A value of `False` will stop processing the request and return an error to the client.

### getPreprocessor(self, service_request)

source code

Gets a preprocessor callable based on the service_request. This is granular, looking at the service method first, then at the service level and finally to see if there is a global preprocessor function for the gateway. Returns `None` if one could not be found.

Instance Variable Details | [hide private]

### authenticator

A callable that will check the credentials of the request before allowing access to the service. Will return a `bool` value.

Type:
  `Callable` or `None`

### preprocessor

Called before the actual service method is invoked. Useful for setting up sessions etc.
