- Method Detail
  - getSignatures
```
java.lang.String[][] getSignatures()
                            throws XmlRpcException
```
    This method may be used to implement XmlRpcListableHandlerMapping.getMethodSignature(String). Typically, the handler mapping will pick up the matching handler, invoke its method getSignatures(), and return the result.
    
    Method handlers, which are created by the AbstractReflectiveHandlerMapping, will typically return a single signature only.
    
    Returns:
    
    An array of arrays. Any element in the outer array is a signature. The elements in the inner array are being concatenated with commas. The inner arrays first element is the return type, followed by the parameter types.
    
    Throws:
    
    XmlRpcException
  - getMethodHelp
```
java.lang.String getMethodHelp()
                        throws XmlRpcException
```
    This method may be used to implement XmlRpcListableHandlerMapping.getMethodHelp(String). Typically, the handler mapping will pick up the matching handler, invoke its method getMethodHelp(), and return the result.
    
    Throws:
    
    XmlRpcException
