Rethrow the same exception thrown on the server side
----------------------------------------------------
Key: XMLRPC-143
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLRPC-143
Project: XML-RPC
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Source
Reporter: Trejkaz
If I have an object on the server which throws a custom exception, at present
the XML-RPC server code will create a generic XmlRpcException.
Notably, this causes two problems for the caller.
1. Because all errors are thrown as XmlRpcException, it becomes impossible to
distinguish an error contacting the server, with an error thrown by the
application code. In the former case, I would like to retry a couple more
times. In the latter case, retrying is pointless and perhaps even harmful.
2. The stack trace is obliterated. Ideally, the stack trace would be
serialised along with the rest of the exception and reconstructed on the client
side.
As Throwable itself is Serializable and Apache XML-RPC already handles
Serializable objects elsewhere, this should not be a major headache. I don't
mind if it requires extensions to be enabled as I'm already forced to enable
those to get support for returning null. :-)
