A single contribution does not a fellow developer make. Whatever. The way I see it, ya got 3 options: 1. JoeBlow, Thanks for submitting the patch. It looks interesting, and I think we could use it. Please put together a test case and polish points a and b a little and we'll roll it in. 2. JoeBlow, Thanks for submitting the patch. I couldn't get it to work OR I don't see the point OR This is not the direction we're headed. 3. You seem to have chosed #3, which is ignore Joe. As near as I can tell, that's the most destructive one. If that expectation paints me as being "unexperienced with open source development", I'm glad I've chosen the right projects to contribute to. >> Not that I have any intention of doing the above - I'm happy to be an >> xmlrpc user.

You might want to say that in http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6937 , which has been rotting for about half a year.

I have not looked at the code yet, just some javadoc, and I'm all excited about it. The thing that immediately caught my eye was the ability to add handlers for encoding other class types.
