RE: Passing a Hash to a remote procedure

[kenglish]

yeah, that works, the code ended up looking like this and it works fine:


        XmlRpcClient server = new XmlRpcClient(server_url);
        Vector params = new Vector();
        Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();
        ht.put("address",address) ;
        ht.put("zip",zip) ;
        ht.put("name",name) ;

         params.addElement(ht);

         Hashtable result =
           (Hashtable) server.execute("process", params);

         for (Enumeration e = result.keys(); e.hasMoreElements() ;) {
            String key = (String) e.nextElement() ;
            System.out.println(key   + "=" + result.get(key));
         }

A Java Hashtable will be marshaled into an Structure by this
implementation of XML-RPC.
Check it out here:

Subject: Passing a Hash to a remote procedure


hello all,
        We have a server written in perl which uses xml-rpc. We are
trying
to write java clients that can communicate with this. The perl server
takes
in a hash-ref (as called in perl) or a struct...It seems that the java
client can only send a vector or array. Is there a way to pass a struct?

   basically the xml request looks like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>process</methodName>
  <params>
    <param>
      <value>
         <struct>
           <member>                
             <name>name</name>
             <value>
               <string>kevin</string>
             </value>
           </member>
           <member>                
             <name>address</name>
             <value>
               <string>123 fake street</string>
             </value>
           </member>
           <member>                
             <name>zip</name>
             <value>
               <string>90210</string>
             </value>
           </member>
         </struct>
       </value>
     </param>
  </params>
</methodCall>

any help would be cool.
