RE: Is it a bug in the XmlRpcSupport.class(inner class of SimpletXmlRpcClient.class)

[George Peristerakis]

Hi,

 

I know this might be a bit far fetched, but in the objectParsed function an assert should be placed to see if the variable result is null. I assume that if the assert is triggered, then the function is called more then once, which overrides the previous data (ei: the recursion is not properly set up).

Subject: Is it a bug in the XmlRpcSupport.class(inner class of SimpletXmlRpcClient.class)

HI:
 
I' ve downloaded the xmlrpc-1.2-b1-src.zip ,  imported it to my project and rebuilded it.  I used JSXmlRpcApplet, XmlRpcApplet, SimpletXmlRpcClient  and the classes needed.
 
The SimpleXmlRpcClient doesn't work properly when the server sends back a struct(array/hashtable). I debuged and found :

1.The response xml ByteStream is right.

2.The John Wilson'sMinML parser works nice without using  XmlRpcSupport.class as  MinML 's DocumentHandler

    line 202         parser.setDocumentHandler(this);
3. But the v.value is  null in the  endElement() method

   line 437 objectParsed(v.value);

 
I changed the  statement: ObjectParsed(v.value) in the SimpleXmlRpcClientto.endElement()
to
 
if ( v.type == ARRAY)
{
    objectParsed( v.array );
} else if ( v.type == STRUCT )
{
    objectParsed ( v.struct );
} else
{
    objectParsed ( v.value );
}
then it works.
 
But it  still  does not  work properly when the array/struct is recursive !
 
I'm not  sure if  it's  a bug.   Could you give me some suggestions about it?

 

Thanks in advance!
