I think that a standard logging interface for XML-RPC as a whole may be a good idea. One of the adavanatades of the Apache XML-RPC implementation at the moment is that you get all you need in a single download but because it uses SAX you can replace the parser if you prefer to use something else. Log4J is quite substantial (340Kb jar file) and is not everybody's choice for a Java logging package. I have just started to look at the Apache Commons Logging package which seems to offer a wrapper which allows actual logging implementations to be plugged in to an application and has support for Log4J. LogKit, JDK 1.4 and a simple file logging mechanism. has anybody any experience with this? > > For the matter of the JDK 1.1 compatibility I share the opinion to > keep it for the client code. > The server should implement the best afford for JDK 1.2 instead. > Specially if used for SSL connections (eg. java.security.KeyStore). I don't see any real objection to the SSL support requireing JDK 1.2 or better. I would like to still be able to use a non SSL server implementation in a JDK 1.1 environment. > > OFF-TOPIC: Why are you using MinML 1.6 in XML-RPC instead of the > current version (MinML 1.7)?

Thanks for the bug report - I'll fix it in the next release (I you would like a pre relase please contatct me off list). I think the next MinML release should go into the XML_RPC release. This is mainly because I'm changing the licence to the modified BSD licence so that GPL users can include the MinML code. John Wilson The Wilson Partnership http://www.wilson.co.uk
