RE: Are there any examples of clients loading parameters for structs or arrays?

[Alan May]

Thank you.  Some how I missed that link(my apologies...),but that was
exactly what I needed.  Thank you for the tip on the array return type
handling.

Thanks,
Alan

Hi,

to see which xml-rpc types are maped to which java objects in apache
xml-rpc, see

http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/types.html

And with the array (as a return parameter) , there is small problem that
you
don't know exactly what is returned, also here you can see an example
how to
handle that in general way:

   public static List decodeList(Object element) {
      if (element == null) {
         return null;
      }
      if (element instanceof List) {
         return (List) element;
      }
      if (element.getClass().isArray()) {
         int length = Array.getLength(element);
         LinkedList result = new LinkedList();
         for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
            result.add (Array.get(element, i));
         }
         return result;
      }
      return null;
   }

And the struct is java.util.Map. In this case it is easy. ;-)

Stano
