Steve Cohen commented on XMLRPC-28:
-----------------------------------

No  kidding!

I spent several hours how to embed XMLRPC in a servlet.  I couldn't get 
anywhere until I figured out that the comment on this page: 
http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/server.html

"Note that the XML-RPC client in Frontier 5 has its requests hard-coded to URI 
/RPC2. To work with these clients, you have to configure your server 
environment to respond to /RPC2. This should be fixed in a newer version."

actually applied to the entire package and not just to Frontier 5 (whatever 
that is).  Changing my servlet mapping to /RPC2 made it all work.

Also on this page was:

"A full example servlet is included in the package. There is a sample XML-RPC 
Servlet included in the library. You can use it as a starting point for your 
own needs."

I wouldn't say that was exactly true.  There was, to be sure 
XmlRpcProxyServlet, but there are many things about that sample such as the 
purpose of the URL configuration parameter that weren't explained and 
contributed to my confusion.  (again, only /RPC2 seemed to work).
Was this the example servlet you had in mind?  It would be good if the page 
gave the name of this aid.

Anyway, after getting over these initial humps, the package did appear quite 
straightforward to use.  However, in looking over these issues, it seems that 
there are issues almost two years old that are not resovled.  Is this project 
being actively maintained?  That would be a factor in whether or not my 
organization decides to use it.

Thank you.
