Transclude plugin
Is the Ceryle Transclude plugin known to work or not work with
JSPWiki 2.6.0?
This plugin invocation:
[{TranscludePlugin page='JSPWiki:Main'}]
...worked OK on JSPWiki 2.4.102, but on 2.6.0, I get this error message
Error, failed to reach: http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/RPC2/ Exception:
org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClientException: Error decoding XML-RPC
response Message: Error decoding XML-RPC response
I removed the comment brackets around XML-RPC in the web.xml and
restarted the wiki, but this didn't change the error message.
By hacking around, I got Transclude to give me a stack trace:

Yes, I believe you're right. What I meant was that there were
compliant XML parsers available outside of Java at that time.

Is there someone on this already or do you want me to tackle it?

Yup, it sounds like a very good reason for an upgrade. Could someone
please open up a task in the JIRA tracker?

I'm not sure, but my guess is that jspwiki.org doesn't have XML-RPC
enabled, so you'd get an error. But obviously this isn't a very
friendly error, so I added a stack trace as well to the code and
received this:
Fatal error parsing XML: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: invalid Character Entitiy
Given the misspelling of "Entitiy" I tracked that down to the
MinML code (trust misspellings to act as truffles to pigs). In
looking at problem there it's a matter of some poor programming,
since the string out of bounds exception is just poor parser
design.
I have to say that I don't understand why the heck the XML-RPC
code feels the need to use little hacks like MinML when Java
itself provides a reliable XML parser, where this kind of thing
wouldn't have provoked so low a level an exception (i.e., been
handled better than that). If Java didn't provide an XML parser
when the current version of XML-RPC was written they could have
at least used one of the more solid parsers (I say this having
seen problems like this arise before due to trying to use
noncompliant parsers).
We are using an older version of Apache XML-RPC and the current
version (3.1) doesn't use MinML. We haven't upgraded because of
time constraints and not wanting to break something that isn't
broken. This does sound a bit broken though.

That wouldn't have provided any more help -- the problem was found to
be in the XML-RPC code to an invalid character entity occurring
in the response to wiki.getPageHTML. This is a bug either in the
Apache XML-RPC code (which is out of date) or in MinML's handling of
invalid content, not in TranscludePlugin per se. You should probably
file a bug against that.
The response from the plugin:
Error, failed to reach: http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/RPC2/ Exception:
org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClientException: Error decoding XML-RPC
response Message: Error decoding XML-RPC response
could possibly be friendlier but is reasonably appropriate to the
problem. I'll look into modifying TranscludePlugin to provide a
more helpful response, perhaps in the logs or something to permit
easier debugging.
