Hi Steve,
+) the project is actively maintained but most user haven't looked at
this part for years (including me)
+) I think XmlRpcProxyServlet is in fact a proxy (as the name implies)
and not an example for embedding XML-RPC into a servlet - is this what
you actually are looking for? Having said that I'm also not able to find
an example servlet for the moment ... :-(
Cheers,
Siegfried Goeschl

-----------------------------------
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.

Client usage documentation is out of date

Key: XMLRPC-28
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLRPC-28
Project: XML-RPC
Type: Bug
Components: Source
Versions: unspecified
Environment: Operating System: All
Platform: All
Reporter: Ryan Hoegg
Assignee: Ryan Hoegg
xdocs/clients.xml describes an outdated method for using the client. Of course,
the new API is still settling down a bit; however, I am beginning to think if we
document it first it may help focus our efforts.
I would have just updated it but until I get around to it we may as well have
something indicating it needs to be done.
