Hi list, After spending quite some time getting the client and server parts of the xmlrpc to run i've finally have some results. The Calculator example is running. :)
Now, i wanted to try another real life example but that didn't work out at all for me yet. I tried pinging blo.gs using the xmlrpc client mentioned below. (http://www.xmlrpc.com/weblogsCom) private void pingBlogs() { try { XmlRpcClientConfigImpl config = new XmlRpcClientConfigImpl(); config.setServerURL(new URL("http://ping.blo.gs";)); XmlRpcClient client = new XmlRpcClient(); client.setConfig(config); Object[] params = new Object[]{new String("example.com"), new String("http://www.example.com";)}; String result = (String) client.execute("weblogUpdates.ping", params); System.out.println(result); } catch (MalformedURLException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (XmlRpcException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } Running this client results in the following stack trace: org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClientException: Failed to parse servers response: Unknown type: string at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcStreamTransport.readResponse(XmlRpcStreamTransport.java:267) at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcStreamTransport.sendRequest(XmlRpcStreamTransport.java:216) at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClientWorker.execute(XmlRpcClientWorker.java:53) at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClient.execute(XmlRpcClient.java:166) at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClient.execute(XmlRpcClient.java:136) at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClient.execute(XmlRpcClient.java:125) at org.checksum.xmlrpc.XmlRpcTestClient.pingBlogs(XmlRpcTestClient.java:86) at org.checksum.xmlrpc.XmlRpcTestClient.main(XmlRpcTestClient.java:23) Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Unknown type: string at org.apache.xmlrpc.parser.RecursiveTypeParserImpl.startElement(RecursiveTypeParserImpl.java:115) at org.apache.xmlrpc.parser.MapParser.startElement(MapParser.java:137) at org.apache.xmlrpc.parser.RecursiveTypeParserImpl.startElement(RecursiveTypeParserImpl.java:126) at org.apache.xmlrpc.parser.XmlRpcResponseParser.startElement(XmlRpcResponseParser.java:126) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.startElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.scanStartElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContentDispatcher.dispatch(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XMLParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcStreamTransport.readResponse(XmlRpcStreamTransport.java:265) at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcStreamTransport.sendRequest(XmlRpcStreamTransport.java:216) at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClientWorker.execute(XmlRpcClientWorker.java:53) at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClient.execute(XmlRpcClient.java:166) at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClient.execute(XmlRpcClient.java:136) at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClient.execute(XmlRpcClient.java:125) at org.checksum.xmlrpc.XmlRpcTestClient.pingBlogs(XmlRpcTestClient.java:86) at org.checksum.xmlrpc.XmlRpcTestClient.main(XmlRpcTestClient.java:23) Is anyone willing to give me a pointer on were to look? Thanks in advance for any help.
