Re: rpcClient.execute returns a XMLRpcException

[Michael Landon - IBN]

If memory serves, I believe <string> ... </string> is the default type.  So 
w/ no type provided, <string> ... </string> is assumed.

But it looks like it returns the exception...instead of throwing it.

Now that my curiosity has been piqued,  I looked at the xmlrpc spec and
the only thing I can see different between the fault example in the spec
and the one you provided is that in the spec the fault string member
looks like this:
            <member>
               <name>faultString</name>
               <value><string>Too many parameters.</string></value>
               </member>
            </struct>
and the one you're getting back looks like this:
            <member>
               <name>faultString</name>
               <value>org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: ERROR in
BlooggerAPIHander.newMediaObject</value>
            </member>

Would the lack of the <string> ...</string> qualifiers be enough to
cause a problem?  I wouldn't think so but ...

Ok. Thanks. I had just found the offending code myself (in
XmlRpcClientResponseProcessor)

    protected XmlRpcException decodeException(Object result)
         throws XmlRpcClientException
     {
         Hashtable exceptionData;

         try
         {
             exceptionData = (Hashtable) result;
             return new XmlRpcException(
                 Integer.parseInt(exceptionData.get
("faultCode").toString()),
                 (String) exceptionData.get("faultString")
             );
         }
         catch (Exception x)
         {
             throw new XmlRpcClientException("Error decoding XML-RPC
exception response", x);
         }
     }


I'll switch over to 1.2b1 myself too.
