It's a bit 'magic' due to the way Sun decided to do a few things ;) It's all setting static variables (how very object-oriented we all cry). > The gist of it is that setBasicAuthentication on XmlRpcClient has been > deprecated.

The stuff on the transports themselves will work, however the changes to the transport factory won't. I've just extended the properties concept for transport factories so that it is possible to set a property on an already created factory (although the factory may ignore or veto the change). This will let it work as long as new factories co-operate. I should probably add getProperty(), getProperties() and removeProperty() as well, but these are of much less use. If you use the DefaultXmlRpcTransportFactory then properties are set for both the http:// and https:// transports when setProperty is called. Andrew.
