The code in the exception clause of:
public void write (byte[] request) throws IOException in XmlRpcClientLite does not seem to be effective in handling keep-alive timeouts. The solution that works for me is to repeat the call to: Object execute (String method, Vector params) throws XmlRpcException, IOException { the code we've been using looks like this: public Object execute (String method, Vector params) throws XmlRpcException, IOException { try { return executeInternal(method, params); } catch (Exception e) { System.err.println("Warning: Execute Internal (" + method + ") - " + e.getMessage() + " transient error - retrying"); } // we'll give it two attempts, if it fails the first time it will // come here for a retry client = null; // make sure return executeInternal(method, params); } public Object executeInternal (String method, Vector params) <<<<----- the old execute method throws XmlRpcException, IOException { Unless someone has a better solution, I'd like to get the code into the distro so that I don't have to modify future releases of the library.
