Migrating from xmlrpc-1 to version 3

["Daphna Wasserman (dwasserm)" <dw...@cisco.com>]

Hi,
 
We have been using xmlrpc-1.jar in our application for a while,and are
currently trying to migrate to the latest version (3.1.1)
Today, on the server side, we have a class which implements
XmlRpcHandler and handles all incoming XML-RPC requests. In order to
migrate to 3.1.1, it is necessary to add handlers specifically. The
problems is that our handlers contain invalid datatypes in terms of the
XML-RPC, and its is impossible for us now to add support for all of
these custom data types.
 
Is there a more generic way to handle requests, such as i version 1?
 
Thanks
Daphna

I do not understand how you handled "invalid datatypes" in version 1.
An example of the XML and/or class in question could help.

In theory, custom data types shouldn't be a problem. See the secion on
that topic in
