Hi Peter,
I had to do something similar. I was thinking about adding a static variable to
the instance that I wanted to use. Something like the one below:
MyRpcServer(int port,Communicator comm) throws Exception {
super(port);
this.comm = comm;
XmlRpcServer xmlRpcServer = this.getXmlRpcServer();
PropertyHandlerMapping phm = new PropertyHandlerMapping();
phm.addHandler("Foo",Foo.class);
// ---- Code Added
Foo.commInstance = this.comm;
//-----------------------
Now when the upcall is made the the server to the method, it could access the
commInstance.
Thanks,
Arvind
