Hi Ryan,
here are my examples. They're mostly ripped straight out of the main methods of existing stuff.
Sorry not to tidy them up more, but its 1am, and I'm supposed to be doing something else.
Feel free to use them, modify them, or throw them away. I'm going to do a secure version, maybe tomorrow, in the hope that someone will give me some pointers on how to get it working :-)

Assuming that you have xmlrpc-1.1.jar in your current directory: to compile: javac -classpath xmlrpc-1.1.jar *.java to run: java -classpath xmlrpc-1.1.jar:. TestServer & then java -classpath xmlrpc-1.1.jar:. TestClient & You should see the following: % % java -classpath ../xmlrpc-1.1/xmlrpc-1.1.jar:. TestServer & Starting XML-RPC TestServer on port 8080 % java -classpath ../xmlrpc-1.1/xmlrpc-1.1.jar:. TestClient TestServer: executing testmethod 42 %

I just went poking around my sources and found a good example of both client and server under the examples/echo directory. Unfortunately it is not included in the xmlrpc-1.1-src.zip on the site :(
I will look around some more and see what I can find, but you can get it from anonymous CVS.

What would be nice is if you did away with the server example that's there now entirely and put up a "Hello, world" application (complete source, nothing fancy) with full instructions on getting the example working so anyone new who comes along can follow the instructions, get the server working, then contact the server with a browser (like Netscape) and see the results.
