[Cosmo-dev] JSON-RPC considered harmful

[Travis Vachon]

Yeah, given the work I've done on CMP, and the way this thing is  
shaping up, I'm actually inclined to agree with Brian. Doing the  
authentication stuff within the RPC methods was an option I had kind  
of put by the wayside because it's an unabashed hack. That said,  
since we have a clear plan for phasing the hack out, I'm fine with  
doing this work for 0.6.

Bobby- how well does JSON-RPC handle overriding methods? That is,  
assuming ScoobyService points at an RPCService which defines both   
getEvent(calendarPath, eventId) and getEvent(calendarPath, eventId,  
ticket), will the RPC stuff do the correct thing for both  
ScoobyService.getEvents(calendarPath, eventID) and  
ScoobyService.getEvents(calendarPath, eventId, ticket) on the  
javascript side?

Thanks for all the input!
