BuiltinRPC (SmartClient Enterprise Server API 10.0p (2021-05-26))

com.isomorphic.rpc.BuiltinRPC

Direct Known Subclasses:

BuiltinRPC
```
public class BuiltinRPC
```
This class implements a set of "built-in" RPC methods that are available to all applications as part of all standard SmartClient distributions. Most of these methods should not be callable from the client in a production setting. By default, all of these are enabled in the smartclientSDK and only the methods flagged as enabled in smartclientRuntime are enabled there by default.
You can control which methods are enabled by listing the enabled methods under the server.properties attribute RPCManager.enabledBuiltinMethods. Additionally, you must set RPCManager.enableBuiltinRPCs: true in server.properties to enable bulitin RPCs.
