                 Key: XMLRPC-150
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLRPC-150
             Project: XML-RPC
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.1
         Environment: Core2duo, ubuntu gutsy (32bit), tomcat 6.0.13, sun's java 
1.6.0_03.
            Reporter: Marcus Sundman


The XmlRpcClient javadocs says it's thread-safe. However, when I have 2 or more 
threads accessing it concurrently I get errors. The errors are often different 
and look very much like race errors IMHO.

Here is the client code:
    public static void main( String[] args ) throws Exception {
        final XmlRpcClientConfigImpl config = new XmlRpcClientConfigImpl();
        config.setServerURL(MY_SERVER);
        final XmlRpcClient client = new XmlRpcClient();
        client.setConfig(config);
        try {
            final long stop=System.currentTimeMillis()+5000L;
            for (int i=0; i<10; i++) {
                final String id=""+i+": ";
                new Thread(new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        System.err.println("Started thread "+id);
                        try {
                            while ( System.currentTimeMillis() < stop ) {
                                System.err.println( id + client.execute( 
"echo.echo", new Object[]{id+"foo"} ) );
                            }
                        } catch ( XmlRpcException x ) {
                            throw new RuntimeException( x );
                        }
                    }
                }).start();
            }
        } catch (Exception x) {
            x.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

Here is the server code:
public class MyXmlRpcServlet extends XmlRpcServlet {
    public static class EchoHandler {
        public String echo( String msg ) {
            return msg;
        }
    }
    @Override
    protected XmlRpcHandlerMapping newXmlRpcHandlerMapping() throws 
XmlRpcException {
        PropertyHandlerMapping handlers =new PropertyHandlerMapping();
        handlers.addHandler( "echo", EchoHandler.class );
        return handlers;
    }


Here are the first lines of a few of the errors I've got:
