Not sure what you mean, but everything outlined should be "already =20
possible".

Get the Zope/SOPE concept ;-) The given class (SoClass) *does* have a =20=

method. That the method in turn is implemented as a direct action and =20=

not a regular ObjC method is just a minor difference. (a SoMethod is =20
anything "callable").

Thats Python/Zope style. Implementation doesn't matter. Everything =20
which is 'callable' can be a method, be it a WOComponent, a =20
WODirectAction or a plain ObjC selector (or a SQLMethod which =20
executes SQL or a PythonMethod etc etc).

Reread my initial response. You don't need to use URLs, you can also =20
use XML-RPC namespaces. Processing is exactly the same. Either use

   server =3D Server("http://host/MyApp")
   server.events.deleteEvent(12345)
or use
   server =3D Server("http://host/MyApp/so/events")
   server.deleteEvent(12345)

Its your choice. For the app developer it doesn't matter.

No, you don't.

Well, object oriented programming ;-) Say you have an event object =20
living at (mapped to):

   http://host/zidestore/so/helge/Calendars/12634

you can run XML-RPC "methods" on it. (XML-RPC "methods" are not =20
really methods but just functions, unless you map "self" to the URL ...)
