I just joined the list today, but have been a long time user of xmlrpc.
Excuse me if this question has been asked before.
I saw that there is a patch to apache xmlrpc to support client-side
timeouts using the commons-httpclient implementation. This is good,
since I recently found out I need support for timeouts. The part that
scares me is it says the CommonsXmlRpcTransport class is not
thread-safe, and I really don't want to synchronize around my xmlrpc
requests. Can someone provide more information as to why it is not
thread-safe? I would be using this class from a Tomcat servlet that
could be making multiple simultaneous xmlrpc requests.
Thanks,
