Dave, Sorry. I must have left my brain home today. Yes, once I added the server name and port number AND started Xindice everything, of course, worked fine:
---- request ---- <?xml version="1.0"?> <methodCall> <methodName>db.insertDocument</methodName> <params> <param><value><string>/db</string></value></param> <param><value><string>tmpfile</string></value></param> <param><value><string><foo>bar</foo></string></value></param> </params> </methodCall> ---- response ---- Fault returned from XML RPC Server, fault code 0: java.lang.Exception: org.apach e.xindice.core.DBException: This Collection 'db' cannot store Documents <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><methodResponse><fault><value><struct ><member><name>faultString</name><value>java.lang.Exception: org.apache.xindice. core.DBException: This Collection 'db' cannot store Documents</value></member><m ember><name>faultCode</name><value><int>0</int></value></member></struct></v alue ></fault></methodResponse> Is the reason for the fault that I was trying to insert a document that doesn't exist? Next, I will try again with Delphi. Thanks for your patience.
