Handler Trouble

[sean]

I got Martin's "TestServer" example working, and then I went on to try and make a "non-XmlRpcHandler" handler, hoping it would perform the object introspection as explained in the server how-to. My test client keeps giving me this odd error I can't seem to get rid of:

Class org.apache.xmlrpc.Invoker can not access a member of class TestHandler with modifiers "public"

This error is actually thrown by the XML-RPC web server. Here's the code for TestHandler:

class TestHandler
{
public String testerror() throws Exception
{
System.err.println("TestServer: executing " + "testerror");
throw new XmlRpcException(20, "this is an error");
}
}

I set up the handler in "public static void main" like this:

TestHandler testHandler = new TestHandler();
webServer.addHandler("test", testHandler);

Clearly, the method is being found because when I call "test.testerror" from the client, I get that error, but if I change the call to use any other name, it throws a "method not found" sort of error.

Why is the Invoker (I think that's who is throwing the error) throwing an error and complaining about the testerror method being public? Isn't is supposed to be public?
