RE: Calling a server-side method asynchronously vs. synchronously

[Bob Deanna]

All,

I have my first question answered.
It appears that XmlRpcClient's "execute" gets called either way, but
with async, its done in a separate thread.

Any thoughts as to why I would get a null pointer exeception as follows?

Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at
org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient$XmlRpcClientAsyncThread.run(XmlRpcClient.
java:271)

    synchronized void enqueue(String method, Vector params,
            AsyncCallback callback)
    {
        CallData call = new CallData(method, params, callback); 
        ...
    }

My method, params and callback object are non-null, which is confusing
to me.

Thanks in advance for any help!
Bob

All,

For xml-rpc v2.0....

Is the AsyncCallback object an additional argument to the server-side
remote xml-rpc method invoked?

Obviously the client calls executeAsync(...) instead of execute(...) and
must implement and pass an AsyncCallback object.
Does the server-side method being called need to be changed in any way,
if you change the client from calling it synchronously to
asynchronously?
  
Or is that handled by xml-rpc internally?

Thanks!
Bob
