Hi,
after one year since the release of XML-RPC 3.0, I'd like to call for
the next release, to be called XML-RPC 3.1, based on revision 561948.
The list of changes since 3.0 is, IMO, impressive, and shows that 3.1
will be highly recommendable over 3.1.
A current snapshot has been deployed to the Maven 2 repository. See
http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/org/apache/xmlrpc/xmlrpc-server/
The proposed site and the proposed distribution is available at

- Added support for void methods, if extensions are turned on.
- Added PropertyHandlerMapping.load(ClassLoader, Map). (Perry Nguyen)
- The authentication handler, type converter and requestprocessor
factories are now configurable as properties of the XmlRpcServlet.
(Jimisola Laursen)
- Atomic properties of XmlRpcServer are now configurable as init
parameters in the XmlRpcServlet.
- Reworked the WebServer/ThreadPool framework in order to ensure a
clean shutdown.
- Introduced the method
AbstractReflectiveHandlerMapping.isHandlerMethod().
This should allow users to prevent remote invocation of certain
methods, for example initialization stuff.
- The ClientFactory is now able to use a custom name for the remote
handler. So far, it was always using the interface name.
(Eugene Prokopiev)
- It is now possible to have other objects than strings as
map keys.
- Made extending the XmlRpcCommonsTransportFactory easier.
(Steffen Pingel)
- Added support for redirects. (Andrew Norman)
- An invalid dateTime value is now causing a more informative
error message.
- Address matching in the Webserver wasn't actually working,
because casting of integers to bytes was implemented wrong.
(Gamaliel Amaudruz)
- Make the HttpClient creation in XmlRpcCommonsTransport and the
URLConnection creation in XmlRpcSunHttpTransport protected.
This is required for cookie support.
- The WebServer was producing invalid error responses, if
contentLengthOptional was set.
- If the server was throwing an XmlRpcException, then the fault code
and fault string weren't given to the client.
(Juha Syrjala)
- The WebServer replies with an HTTP error 401 now, if the
client uses chunked encoding.
- The properties "Extension-Name", "Specification-Vendor",
"Specification-Version", "Specification-Title",
"Implementation-Vendor-Id", "Implementation-Vendor" and
"Implementation-Version" are now present in the MANIFEST files.
- An NPE was thrown, if the clients request didn't contain a "params"
element.
- The method TimingOutCallback.waitForResponse is now checking, whether
a response has already arrived before waiting. (Jonathan Oexner)
- Fixed a serious performance problem, if the XML parser was sending
large content in small pieces. This could happen, for example, if
the content contained a large number of character entities.
- The configuration of the reply timeout in the commons transport was
wrong. (Juho Yli-Krekola)
- The DateParser is now treating an empty string as null. (Carsten
Wolters)
- The XmlRpcRequestParser and XmlRpcResponseParser didn't reset
their internal state within startDocument(). Consequently, they
haven't been reusable. (Keith McNeill)
