Noticed that the XML Rpc client in release 3 handles exceptions differently than in release 2

[Andrew Norman <an...@piczoinc.com>]

I've just upgraded from release 2 to release 3 and noticed a change in
the behavior of how the XML RPC client is handling server side
exceptions. Previously in release 2 the return object (in the case of
exceptions) would actually be an XmlRpcException; however, with release
3 the object the client's return object is null. As a sanity check, I
can see that the XMLServerSide code is actually creating the fault
response. 

Is this behavior change between release 2 and 3 a bug or is it an
intended change?

This is *very* intended. I never understood the rationale. Exceptions
are the standard way to handle errors in Java, so why should one
prefer a different manner?
