Announce: Apache XML-RPC 2.0beta
Hi,
I'd like to announce the availability of Apache XML-RPC 2.0beta. Apache
XML-RPC is an implementation of the popular XML RPC specification (see
http://www.xmlrpc.com/ for details), a language independent protocol for
remote procedure calls based on XML and HTTP.
Compared to the predecessor, version 1.2, a lot of refactoring has
occurred. In particular, you may now choose between various HTTP
implementations, including a very lightweight implementation or the
Jakarta Commons HTTP Client. However, the most important change is, that
the current version will hopefully receive active maintenance, which the
previous didn't in the last one or two years.
Apache XML-RPC is available from
http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/
Jochen

Sorry for not replying sooner. IMO, it makes always sense to use
-current for pointers. Typically users want the "latest" version and
not a specific version. Besides, FreshMeat announcements tend to popup
somewhere else even months later, when there might be newer versions.

Sure thing. I need to update the project's meta data first, though.
Which file? The -current? Seems like that should be changed to -2.0-
b1. Additionally, it could symlink into a corresponding sub-directory.

This issue is for asynchronous calls, i.e. with execute.Async().
I would like to see it with the regular .execute() as well.
Should I add a new issue to Jira or just add it as a comment XMLRPC-56.

This is the latest version supported officially. 3.02 runs fine in the
test suite.

See XMLRPC-56 in Jira. This didn't make it into 2.0, if i remember
right. But I can see no reason for not integrating it once 2.0 is out.

That would be a task for Jason van Zyl, or Daniel Rall, the project
admins on FreshMeat. Jason? Daniel?

Thanks for the hint. I forgot that list.

First of all, great to see that the project is active again!
Both this and Marquée XML-RPC (on SF.net) has been inactive for quite some
time.
A few things:
- Is it HTTP Client 2.0.2 (latest stable) that is supported?
- Does any of the implementations handle timeout (connect and timeout?) and is
one able to set them using the XML-RPC library?
URLConnection does not have setConnectionTimeout/setReadTimeout until 1.5.0.
With 1.4.2 you'll have to use System Properties instead.
Also, would be nice if you made sure that you announce, at least stable,
versions on freshmeat.net (http://freshmeat.net/projects/apachexmlrpc/).
Since this is the only place I now that I can get notified of now releases
automaticially. ws.apache.org does not house this service or?
Regards,
Jimisola
PS. I would have prefered to write this mail to the user list, but the version
did not seem to have been announced there. DS.

I would also prefer XMLRPC_2_0_B1. (Even more I'd prefer 2.0-b1 after
we move to Subversion -- happy to do that anytime!)

Hi folks,
I just uploaded the website - it will take a while to be visible.
Another question - can we stick to a naming convention regarding the
labels?! I would prefer "XMLRPC_2_0_B1" over "v2_0beta" since labels are
global in CVS and it supports the notion of multiple beta version - what
would never happen to us, wouldn't it ... :-)
Cheers,
