Victor, two questions regarding this (for now). Where does another server sending the request get a session id to send?
Second line: $anon_session = xmlrpc($server, 'system.connect'); This is then reused in the login request: $authenticated_session = xmlrpc($server, 'user.login', $anon_session['sessid'], $user, $password);
And in this example, and really every one I've seen, a standard method is being used (node.get in this one), but I'm wondering if part of the issue is that I'm defining a method in my module as opposed to using one packaged with the services module.
That's fine. I did the same thing recently, for example uploading performance times to a performance content type. I copied the closest existing service module into my own module and edited it. That way, I had my own custom service written as part of services. For a bare-bones xmlprc example using Drupal functions without the services module, check out my 2007 article leveraging hook_xmlrpc: http://awebfactory.com.ar/node/234 This gets it done. Either way, your own code can implement the logic you describe. Victor
In my case, I'm receiving data, and if its id matches a cck value in a content type I take the data and update a field in the node with it, if not, I put the data into a holding queue until there -is- a node with the id being matched by the cck field.

Maybe this will help. I recently launched http://projectflowandtracker.com/ (on Pantheon, yay!) in alpha (beta will come with jquery enhanced usability improvements) and was working on an everything in code basis; so... I had to import from the legacy site all the projects, user stories, etc. for the 150-200 folks who had been using the previous version.
I opted to use services on the legacy site, and did not use the authentication key, but opted for user login instead, bringing the stuff over to the new site using the Drupal API http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--common.inc/function/xmlrpc/6 which does not need to be downloaded or required.
/* * client code for use with Services 6.x-2.4 * with following modules enabled on server, and following server config: * Key Authentication, XMLRPC Server, Node Service, System Service, User Service, Views Service * with no special permissions for anonymous on server * Key Authentication is chosen at Site building > Services > Settings * but Use ssid selected, Use keys de-selected */
$server = 'http://legacy.projectflowandtracker.com/services/xmlrpc';
$anon_session = xmlrpc($server, 'system.connect');
// login as... // Use anon session id to login with authentication $user = 'the_user'; $password = 'the_password'; $authenticated_session = xmlrpc($server, 'user.login', $anon_session['sessid'], $user, $password); if (xmlrpc_error()) { $error_num = xmlrpc_errno(); $error = xmlrpc_error(); print_r ($error); }
/*********** code just to bring a single node ****************/ $xmlrpc_result = xmlrpc($server, 'node.get', $authenticated_session['sessid'], 2); if (xmlrpc_error()) { $error_num = xmlrpc_errno(); $error = xmlrpc_error(); print_r ($error); } print '<pre>' . print_r($xmlrpc_result, TRUE) . '</pre>';
This worked for me.
