I have been trying to figure out how to implement a simple xml rpc server and client with apache xml-rpc (http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/) but i haven't been successfull. I implemented a server and a client as specified here in the section Webserver: http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/server.html
The only thing i did differently was this "phm.addHandler("Calculator",org.apache.xmlrpc.demo.Calculator.class);" instead of this "phm.load(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(), "MyHandlers.properties");". When i start the server it start properly but I can't see the service when running netstat. Then when I run a request from the client it fails because it cannot find the class to call (i.e. the client doesn't really connect to the server). I have also observed that the client can start (not sending any requests) without any errors even when the server is not running.
Anyone have any ideas. I'm really lost.
