Subject: RE: <i4> and array type
question,please help
1. According to the
spec, if no type is indicated, the type is string. <int> and
<i4> fields appear to be handled the same and subject to the same rules,
so changing the tag from int to i4 shouldn't affect any compliant
parser.
  is the space
character, so the generated XML is compliant to the spec and would be
interpreted correctly by a compliant client. I know of no way to make the
generated xml display exactly as you described without hacking apache's
code.
2. The spec has been
updated to state that int fields collapse leading zeros in int values. To keep
the leading zeros you'd have to store it as another type, for example string
or base64
Hope this
helps,

Hi,
As I'm starting to use apache's XML-RPC java
api, I found couple of questions.
1) The standard XML-RPC spec defines the
array type as something like:
**********************************************************************
<array>
<data>
<value><i4>1404</i4></value>
<value><string>Something Here</string></value>
</data>
</array>
***********************************************************************
But I was unable to put <i4> into the
array by using java Vector. I could only put <int></int> instead
of <i4>. Also the <string></string> tag in red is
missing. The blank space was replaced by " " in the generated
XML.
My code is:
**********************************
Vector v=new
Vector(); *
v.add(new Integer("1404")); *
v.add("Something Here");
*
**********************************
The result XML is
**********************************************************************
<array>
<data>
<value><int>1404</int></value>
<value>Something Here</value>
</data>
</array>
**********************************************************************
Is there a way to produce the exact same XML as
XML-RPC defined by using apache's api?
2) If I want to generate
<array>
<data>
<value><i4>001404</i4></value>
</data>
</array>
as I want to preserve the zero before 1404.
What should I do?
Best regards,
Yixing Ma
