Method Details
- getSignatures
  
  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
  
  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:
