Examining XML RPC request packets
Hi,
I am using Apache XML RPC library. How do I see the XML RPC
request/response packet capture?
My XML RPC request goes through a Java Servlet.
I have tried Ethreal and Wireshark , they don't help.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
-Preeti Vishwakarma

Here is the packet capture from tcpdump raw file:
POST /xmlrpc HTTP/1.1..Content-Type: text/xml..User-Agent: Apache XML
RPC 3.0 (Jakarta Commons httpclient Transport)..Host:
10.0.89.76:8035..Content-Length: 114....<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="iso-8859-1"?><methodCall><methodName>get_hostname</methodName>
<params/></methodCall>..3G
What is "..3G" at the end of the POST request?
Thanks,
-Preeti

How should we know without seeing anything? :-)

Look, that's why there's rules, understand? So that you think before
you break 'em.

I am using tcpdump for windows to examine the XML RPC request/response
packets. Why do I see some special characters are the end of xml
request/response?
Wireshark didn't show me those.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
-Preeti

Yup, it worked. I cud see the XML RPC packet capture with Wireshark.

Start tcpmon on port 8080 and redirect it to 10.0.56.76, port 8032.
Then change your clients URL to http://127.0.0.1:8080/xmlrpc.

Hi Jochen,
Here is my XML RPC Client code:
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.*;
import java.util.concurrent.*;
import org.apache.xmlrpc.client.*;
import org.apache.xmlrpc.*;
public class testRpc{
public static void main (String[] args) throws Throwable
{
try
{
XmlRpcClientConfigImpl config = new XmlRpcClientConfigImpl();
config.setServerURL(new
URL("http://10.0.56.76:8032/xmlrpc"));
config.setEncoding("iso-8859-1");
XmlRpcClient xmlRpcClient = new XmlRpcClient();
xmlRpcClient.setTransportFactory(new
XmlRpcCommonsTransportFactory(xmlRpcClient));
xmlRpcClient.setConfig(config);
HashMap data = new HashMap();
data.put("1",new Integer(3));
data.put("2",new Integer(5));
Object[] params1 = new Object[]{data};
// Call the server, and get our result.
HashMap result = (HashMap)
xmlRpcClient.execute("Calculator.sumAndDifference",params1);
int sum = ((Integer) result.get("sum")).intValue();
int difference = ((Integer)
result.get("difference")).intValue();
// Print out our result.
System.out.println("Sum: " + Integer.toString(sum) +
", Difference: " +
Integer.toString(difference));
System.out.println(result);
}
catch ( IOException ex ) {
System.out.println( "Network error: The server may not
exist." );
return;
}
catch ( XmlRpcException e)
{
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
***********************************************************
Here is my Server code:
import java.util.Hashtable;
import org.apache.xmlrpc.server.*;
import org.apache.xmlrpc.webserver.*;
import org.apache.xmlrpc.server.PropertyHandlerMapping;
import org.apache.xmlrpc.server.XmlRpcServer;
import org.apache.xmlrpc.server.XmlRpcServerConfigImpl;
import org.apache.xmlrpc.webserver.*;
public class RpcServer {
private int port;
public RpcServer( int port ) {
this.port = port;
}
public static void main( String args[] ) throws Exception {
WebServer webServer = new WebServer(8032);
XmlRpcServer xmlRpcServer = webServer.getXmlRpcServer();
PropertyHandlerMapping phm = new PropertyHandlerMapping();
/* Load handler definitions from a property file.
* The property file might look like:
* Calculator=org.apache.xmlrpc.demo.Calculator
*
org.apache.xmlrpc.demo.proxy.Adder=org.apache.xmlrpc.demo.proxy.AdderImp
l
*/
phm.load(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(),"MyHandlers.prop
erties");
xmlRpcServer.setHandlerMapping(phm);
XmlRpcServerConfigImpl serverConfig =
(XmlRpcServerConfigImpl) xmlRpcServer.getConfig();
serverConfig.setEnabledForExtensions(true);
serverConfig.setContentLengthOptional(false);
webServer.start();
System.out.println("XML-RPC Server started OK");
}
}
****************************************************************
Here is Calculator Class:
import java.util.HashMap;
public class Calculator {
public HashMap sumAndDifference (HashMap data) {
System.out.println("sumAndDifference called");
int x = ((Integer)data.get("1")).intValue();
int y = ((Integer)data.get("2")).intValue();
System.out.println("1:"+ x + "***2:"+y);
HashMap result = new HashMap();
result.put("sum", new Integer(x + y));
result.put("difference", new Integer(x - y));
return result;
}
}
Can you tell me what is wrong in this code?
I try with Wireshark and I don't see ant HTTP packet capture. But it is
all working fine, I just want to investigate what the XML RPC
request/response looks like. Because in real system my Server is not
Java based but C based so I want to see what XML RPC request packet my
Java Client will send to it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Preeti

Then you did something wrong. They do help. An alternative tool is
tcpmon, btw.
