I am trying to learn how JSON-RPC works and am testing it in Go language (golang). The Go program works fine. It does what it should do. But when I try to make a raw request via telnet, it gives an error.
The working and super simple JSON-RPC server is described here:
// rpc_json_server.go
package main
import (
"log"
"net"
"net/http"
"net/rpc"
"net/rpc/jsonrpc"
)
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Types
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
type Arithmetic int // Used as RPC Service called 'Arithmetic'
type Arguments struct {
A int
B int
}
type Result int
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Methods
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
func (t *Arithmetic) Multiply(args *Arguments, res *Result) error {
*res = Result(args.A * args.B)
return nil
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
func main() {
var srv *rpc.Server
var err error
var arith *Arithmetic
var listener net.Listener
var codec rpc.ServerCodec
var srv_conntype, srv_host, srv_port, srv_addr, srv_path string
var srv_debugPath string
var connection net.Conn
srv_conntype = "tcp"
srv_host = "0.0.0.0"
srv_port = "3000"
srv_addr = srv_host + ":" + srv_port
srv_path = "/"
srv_debugPath = "/debug"
// Create Server, register Service
srv = rpc.NewServer()
arith = new(Arithmetic)
err = srv.Register(arith)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error. Service Format is not correct. %s
", err) //dbg
}
// Handle, listen
srv.HandleHTTP(srv_path, srv_debugPath)
listener, err = net.Listen(srv_conntype, srv_addr)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error. Can not listen on %s. %s
", srv_addr, err) //dbg
}
log.Printf("Started RPC Handler at %s.
", srv_addr) //dbg
// Serve
for {
connection, err = listener.Accept()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
codec = jsonrpc.NewServerCodec(connection)
go srv.ServeCodec(codec)
}
err = http.Serve(listener, nil)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Serve Error. %s
", err) //dbg
}
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The working and super simple JSON-RPC client's code is following:
// rpc_json_client.go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"net"
"net/rpc"
"net/rpc/jsonrpc"
)
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Types
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
type Arithmetic int // Used as RPC Service called 'Arithmetic'
type Arguments struct {
A int
B int
}
type Result int
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Methods
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
func main() {
var err error
var srv_conntype, srv_host, srv_port, srv_addr string
//var srv_path string
var client *rpc.Client
var args Arguments
var result Result
var serviceName, methodName, funcName string
var connection net.Conn
srv_conntype = "tcp"
srv_host = "0.0.0.0"
srv_port = "3000"
srv_addr = srv_host + ":" + srv_port
//srv_path = "/"
// Connect to RPC Server
connection, err = net.Dial(srv_conntype, srv_addr)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error. Can not connect to %s. %s
", srv_addr, err) //dbg
}
defer connection.Close()
// Client
client = jsonrpc.NewClient(connection)
// Prepare Call
serviceName = "Arithmetic"
methodName = "Multiply"
funcName = serviceName + "." + methodName
args.A = 7
args.B = 8
// Call remote Procedure
err = client.Call(funcName, args, &result)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error. %s
", err) //dbg
}
// Show Results
fmt.Printf("[%d; %d] -> [%d].
", args.A, args.B, result) //dbg
}
Once again. This golang program works fine.
But the next thing I cannot understand.
telnet localhost 3000
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
{
"jsonrpc":"2.0",
"method":"Arithmetic.Multiply",
"params": { "A": 5, "B": 6 },
"id":1
}
{"id":1,"result":null,"error":"json: cannot unmarshal object into Go value of type [1]interface {}"}
Please, give me some advice or the reason for such an error. What is wrong in the raw request?
Thanks in advance!
Your code seems fine.
But in the request, params
is expected to be an array containing the actual parameters.
Try with the following payload and it should work:
{
"jsonrpc":"2.0",
"method":"Arithmetic.Multiply",
"params": [ { "A": 5, "B": 6 } ],
"id":1
}
(Note the "[" and "]" enclosing the actual param)
