ASCII, EBCDIC conversion

[Mirza Irwan Osman NCS <im...@ncs.com.sg>]

Hi

I'm a newbie in XML-RPC. But I'm sure my problem has been encoutered before.
I have an XML RPC servlet running on a Linux server(ASCII). And also an xml
rpc client code (in java) running on the mainframe(EBCDIC). When the client
code make the call, it gets the following error:

java.io.IOException: String index out of range: -1
        at org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient$Worker.execute(XmlRpcClient.java)
        at org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient.execute(XmlRpcClient.java)
        at com.ncs.sso.SSOCtrl.getUserXMLRPC(SSOCtrl.java:208)
        at com.ncs.sso.SSOCtrl.getUser(SSOCtrl.java:184)

I think this has something to do with conversioin between the ASCII and
EBCDIC. I have tested this code in other environment and it worked fine. Can
anyone tell me how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

Rgds,
Irwan

There is no such thing as EBCDIC XML-RPC -- XML-RPC is strictly ASCII
only (not even Unicode).
