[jira] Closed: (XMLRPC-146) 'nan' is not recognized as Double causing exceptions

["Jochen Wiedmann (JIRA)" <xm...@ws.apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLRPC-146?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jochen Wiedmann closed XMLRPC-146.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

The value "nan" is definitely a violation of the XML-RPC specification. In other words, this cannot be supported by an XML-RPC compliant implementation out of the box.

Apart from that, as far as I know, you're the first one who requests that after quite some years of XML-RPC. In other words, I doubt that the feature is sufficiently common to justify inclusion into the core code. Therefore, I'd ask you to use a custom type factory, as described in

    http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/advanced.html

The feature was specifically developed with topics like that in mind.

> I got an XML-RPC remote server (EPICS archiver) written in C++. I have no way to change code / version etc on this server. This server returns timestamped doubles by the request of my Apache XML-RPC clients. It returns Not a Number (NaN) as string 'nan'. That causes an parsing  exception in Apache XML-RPC library:
