I am a newbie with both java and this java package. I have been able to get an stand-alone xml-rpc client operational, and I have had success with applet-based clients when using the 'xml-rpc-1.1.jar'. However, when I use the 'xml-rpc-1.1-applet.jar' to construct applets, I have problems.
I'd like a 'Getting Started' paragraph or 3 that provides an example to Illustrate a no-frills functional skeleton using the class - XmlRpcApplet:
[ ] setDebug
[a] createArgumentVector
[b] InitClient
[c] Assert that client is a valid SimpleXmlRpcClient that can be used in 'request'
[d] Issue a request
[e] handle exceptions
[f] report results
It would be nice to have an example that I could go back to compare against my own applets when issues arise - a good bare bones starting point. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be very appreciative.
Best regards,
Douglas Reames

The site at http://xml.apache.org/xmlrpc/ seemed somewhat filled out, but there's a terrible lack of "how-to" documentation there and I couldn't find much news or other signs of activity.What kind of how-to documentation are you looking for? We are aware that the documentation is scanty, but as a potential user your ideas of what a "Getting started" document would contain would be very helpful.
The "Client Classes" link (http://xml.apache.org/xmlrpc/client.html) on the web page gives some information on using the XML-RPC client classes, and the "Server Side XML-RPC" link (http://xml.apache.org/xmlrpc/server.html) gives some information on using the library to provide an XML-RPC interface to your software.
Is this project alive and well?Alive and kicking! We are ramping up for a 2.0 release PSN ;)--ryan
