I usually do it even with packages like Tapestry, Torque, etc. because missing documentation and I know the community is as busy as I am so the better I can do is to debug and tracing the code to find an answer in about 15-30 minutes. Six years ago I spent hours doing the same, but six years ago I was a begginer...

good advice, derrick, if you think "read the manual" type of response is helpful.

I'm feeling like flame-bait today so I'll give it a shot:
You probably aren't getting much help because it sounds like you don't understand basic Java development. You've already gotten a couple of helpful responses, which is more than most apparently pointless questions get on mailing lists.
No one is obligated to help you; learn to figure things out for yourself. Using JAR files in development is a standard process that should be self-explanatory. If you don't understand how to use the JAR files that come with the binary distribution, do a search on google for "using JAR files".
I'm sorry if this seems rude, but that's the most helpful advice I can give you.

Hi,
I am just wondering how many people are signed up for this mailing list? Seems like me and Daniel are the only two here... in addition, is the help rationed? Can I get more help than just one message per day? it is pretty time consuming if I have to wait for a day to get an answer to every question I asked... I dont mean to be a jerk here, but you can probably tell how frustrated I am right now trying to get some help from this mailing list. thanks

Hi,
Unless you need to modify the source of v1.2-b1, you can download it from the distribution directory. Here's a mirror: http://apache.sunsite.ualberta.ca/ws/xmlrpc/v1.2-b1/
If you're up for it, you can check out the latest CVS source and set up your default.properties/building.properties file as below and then run "ant" which would build the jar files. Note you might need to get some jars and point to their location in the .properties (see last few lines--I've placed the jars in the ./lib directory).
# ------------------------------------------------------------------- # D E F A U L T P R O P E R T I E S # ------------------------------------------------------------------- # These properties are used by the XML-RPC build. You may override # any of these default values by placing property values in your # local build.properties and ${user.home}/build.properties files. # -------------------------------------------------------------------
name = XML-RPC project = xmlrpc build.dir = ./target build.dest = ${build.dir}/classes build.test.dest = ${build.dir}/test-classes src.dir = ./src src.test.dir = ${src.dir}/test test.reportsDirectory = test-reports javadoc.destdir = ${build.dir}/docs/api jakarta.site2 = ../jakarta-site2 jdom.jar = jdom-b7.jar docs.src = ./xdocs docs.dest = ./docs lib.repo = ./lib year = 1999-2002 debug = off optimize = on deprecation = on final.name = ${project}-${version}
# You must set these values here, or in your # ${user.home}/build.properties file in order # to build XmlRpc:
commons-httpclient.jar = ${lib.repo}/commons-httpclient-2.0.jar commons-logging.jar = ${lib.repo}/commons-logging-1.0.3.jar commons-codec.jar = ${lib.repo}/commons-codec-1.1.jar jsse.jar = ${lib.repo}/jsse.jar jnet.jar = ${lib.repo}/jnet.jar jcert.jar = ${lib.repo}/jcert.jar servlet.jar = ${lib.repo}/servlet.jar junit.jar = ${lib.repo}/junit-3.7.jar

Hi,
I downloaded the XML-RPC v1.2 b1 package, but could not build it. Whenever I run ant, it would come back with an error message saying that in build.xml line 137 that the source directory does not exist.
I looked at the readme file included in the package, and it says something about configuring the build.properties file in the build directory. However, I could not even see the build directory at all, let along finding the .properties file in there.
Please help. I am using redhat 9. thanks
best wishes
Jim
