Jochen Wiedmann commented on XMLRPC-195:
----------------------------------------
Quoting from the XML-RPC specification that you have referenced yourself below:
If no type is indicated, the type is string.
In other words: What Apache XML-RPC does, is a perfectly valid behaviour and
the error (if any) is on the side of the software which doesn't deal with that
properly.
A Google search for "Apache XML RPC string tag" quickly reveals possibly
workarounds, as detailed in the Apache XML RPC FAQ:
http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&ved=0CC8QFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fapache-xml.6118.n7.nabble.com%2FAdding-lt-string-gt-tag-in-XML-RPC-3-1-td29255.html&ei=hmmrUIWSB4nHswaqr4HoCg&usg=AFQjCNFaJwfP155CYYU4xzFrtweumv_V1Q
Closing this as "not a bug".
> StringSerializer does not create <string> tag
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: XMLRPC-195
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLRPC-195
> Project: XML-RPC
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Source
> Affects Versions: 3.1.3
> Environment: Windows 7
> Reporter: Gokulakrishnan
> Priority: Critical
>
> Consider a method call (API) named 'login' that takes in 4 parameters major
> version (integer), minor version (integer), user name (string) and password
> (string). Below code snippet explains how I invoke this remote API.
> XmlRpcClient client = new XmlRpcClient();
> Object[] loginParams = {new Integer(2), new Integer(0), new
> String("u...@sample.com"), new String("password")};
> client.execute("login", loginParams);
> The four parameters are wrapped as Object array to method call named 'login'.
> Below is the XML generated and passed to server hosting login API:
> <methodCall>
> <methodName>login</methodName>
> <params>
> <param>
> <value>
> <i4>2</i4>
> </value>
> </param>
> <param>
> <value>
> <i4>0</i4>
> </value>
> </param>
> <param>
> <value>
> u...@sample.com
> </value>
> </param>
> <param>
> <value>
> password
> </value>
> </param>
> </params>
> </methodCall>
> As you notice the user name - u...@sample.com and password - password are
> serialized without '<string>' tag. Is this intentional. I referred the code
> StringSerializer and noticed that '<string>' tag is not passed to write
> method. By XML-RPC specification http://xmlrpc.scripting.com/spec it should
> have been:
> :
> <value>
> <string>
> u...@sample.com
> </string>
> </value>
> :
> Any specific reason for this change in behavior ?
