Getting XmlRpcClientException when using xml rpc 3.1.3 jar

[ThekkayilJoy Thomas <th...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

      I am trying to login to a nessus server using apache xml rpc 3.1.3 in
java. I am getting XmlRpcClientException. Upon debugging i can find that the
response is coming and even response message is coming as OK but the
response is not getting parsed properly.

It is giving sax parser exception.

Please let me know what i am doing wrong.

Sample:

XmlRpcClientConfigImpl config = new XmlRpcClientConfigImpl();
config.setServerURL(new URL("https://a.b.c.d:8834" ));
XmlRpcClient client = new XmlRpcClient();
client.setConfig(config);

Object[] params = new Object[] {new
String("login=admin2&seq=1&password=password")};
Object result = client.execute("Login", params);

Output is:
Exception in thread "main" org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClientException:
Failed to parse server's response: Expected methodResponse element, got html

    at XmlRpcStreamTransport.readResponse(XmlRpcStreamTransport.java:172)

Thanks,
Thomas

Doesn't look like a proper response from the Nessus server. Could you
use Wireshark, tcpdump, or a similar tool to trace the conversation
between client and server. This should allow me to be more specific.

Thanks,

Jochen
