Xen API and XML-RPC

I'm developing a Xen interface in PHP with xmlrpc support.
I'm trying to login with the class 'session' like in the pdf api on
Xen wiki, but this is the result of debugging:

POST / HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: XML-RPC for PHP 2.0
Host: 127.0.0.1

<?xml version="1.0"?>

</param>
</params>
</methodCall>
---END---

</member>
<member>
<name>faultString</name>
<value><string>method "session.login_with_password" is not
supported</string></value>
</member>
</struct></value>
</fault>
</methodResponse>

Where's the error? The name of class/method?
Where can i set the password to access to the api of Xen via xmlrpc?

Thanks in advice!

I'm afraid the formal Xen XML-RPC API as described in Ewan's doc hasn't
actually been implemented yet. There is a stub XMLRPC service listening
in XenD, but it is not implementing the API described in the docs. IIRC
the expectation is that work on the server side of the XML-RPC apis will
begin once Xen 3.0.3 is released, so the first formal Xen release with
support will be 3.0.4 - Ewan will correct me if i'm wrong on these
schedules.

Regards,
Dan.

That's all correct, yes.

On the Xen-API wiki page (http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenApi) there is a
hacked-up version of XMLRPCServer.py, and if you replace Xend's one with that,
then you will get a few stubs for a few of the calls. They don't have any
useful functionality behind them though -- that's still to be implemented --
all you get is fake data back.
