RE: servlet

[Daly, Louis]

Title: servlet

Thanks John I've just started ot look at the applet and will likely proceed that way   My own thoughts went like this I first tried to look at the inputstream by piping it straight back to the caller (instead of passing it to the xmlrpc client) just so I could see what was going on But that didn't work very well and I suspect for the reasons you mention i.e. header stuff   Anyway I hope to get something working soon and thanks for the help Lou   -----Original Message----- From: John Twomey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 6:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: servlet   Hi Louis,   Using a standard HTTP POST does not seem to work since the post method will URLencode(or something - its early) the XML-RPC call. The Post includes headers etc. and some charactors are encoded - XML RPC only wants the call as you have it in your post box. This can be confirmed by the fact that you recieved an answer from your "LiteClient" - so your servlet works!!! The answer probably lies in using the XML-RPC applet to make the call and probably process the return.   Thats My take on it anyway - others may have more to add or take away. If someone has an answer to making an HTTP POST work I would love to know it.      Take care,   John  -----Original Message----- From: Daly, Louis Sent: Tue 4/2/2002 5:22 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Cc: Subject: servlet   I really need to get one basic thing going so I can start to figure out stuff This form calls my servlet http://lou.library.arizona.edu/testmail.html myservlet is below (tries to call Echo) I know the server is running as I started it like so C:\>java org.apache.xmlrpc.WebServer 9000 And this works C:\tom4\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes\org\apache\xmlrpc> c:\java14\bin\java org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClientLite http://lou.library.arizona.edu:9000 echo test 123         [test, 123] help! lou //?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? // Copyright 1999 Hannes Walln�fer, Raphael Spannocchi package org.apache.xmlrpc; import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; import java.io.*; import java.util.Vector; public class XmlRpcServlet extends HttpServlet implements XmlRpcHandler {     public XmlRpcServer xmlrpc;         xmlrpc = new XmlRpcServer ();     public void init (ServletConfig config) throws ServletException     {         if ("true".equalsIgnoreCase (config.getInitParameter ("debug")))             XmlRpc.setDebug (true);         String url = config.getInitParameter ("url");         xmlrpc = new XmlRpcServer ();         try         {             xmlrpc.addHandler ("$default", new XmlRpcClientLite (url));         }         catch (Exception x)         {             throw new ServletException ("Invalid URL: "+url + " ("+                     x.toString () + ")");         }     }         try         {             xmlrpc.addHandler ("$default", new XmlRpcClientLite ());         }         catch (Exception x)         {             throw new ServletException ("Invalid URL: "+url + " ("+                     x.toString () + ")");         }     }     public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)                 throws ServletException, IOException  {         byte[] result = xmlrpc.execute (req.getInputStream ());         res.setContentType("text/xml");         res.setContentLength (result.length);         OutputStream output = res.getOutputStream();         output.write (result);         output.flush ();     }     /**      * Callback method for XML-RPC server      */     public Object execute (String methodname, Vector params) {         return params;     } }
