XmlRpcClient execute for vector of string parameters produces incorrect XML on the wire?

[David Oppenheimer <da...@gmail.com>]

Hi. When I do the following

XmlRpcClient xmlrpc = new XmlRpcClient("...");
Vector params = new Vector();
params.add(new String("hello"));
xmlrpc.execute("function_name", params);

I notice that what goes out over the wire is

<param><value>hello</value></param>

instead of

<param><value><string>hello</string></value></param>

Note that if I replace "new String("hello"))" with "new Integer(5)" in
the above, then I get the correct text on the wire, namely

<param><value><int>5</int></value></param>

Does anyone know why the <string> tag is being dropped? This might
work if you're using the Apache XMLRPC server, but I'm using a
different server and it is rejecting this formatting since it is
expecting a string argument.

Thanks very much for any suggestions,
David

That would explain it. :-)

Right, from:  http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec

"If no type is indicated, the type is string."

Sorry about that, I was drinking and may have dialed the wrong number.
I am dirinking now and may be typing the wrong words as well.
I will try to call you tomorrow :)

i believe <string> is the default, as defined by the xmlpc protocol.any 
xmlrpc-compliant server will treat such data as 'string'.

i believe <string> is the default, as defined by the xmlpc protocol.any 
xmlrpc-compliant server will treat such data as 'string'.
