  1. According to the spec, if no type is indicated, the type is string.  <int> and
<i4> fields appear to be handled the same and subject to the same rules, so changing
the tag from int to i4 shouldn't affect any compliant parser.

  &#32; is the space character, so the generated XML is compliant to the spec and would
be interpreted correctly by a compliant client. I know of no way to make the generated xml
display exactly as you described without hacking apache's code.

  2. The spec has been updated to state that int fields collapse leading zeros in int values.
To keep the leading zeros you'd have to store it as another type, for example string or base64

  Hope this helps,
  Derek

  Hi,

  As I'm starting to use apache's XML-RPC java api, I found couple of questions.

  1)  The standard XML-RPC spec defines the array type as something like:
  **********************************************************************
  <array>
    <data>
      <value><i4>1404</i4></value>
      <value><string>Something Here</string></value>
    </data>
  </array>
  ***********************************************************************
  But I was unable to put <i4> into the array by using java Vector. I could only put
<int></int> instead of <i4>. Also the <string></string> tag
in red is missing.  The blank space was replaced by "&#32;" in the generated XML.

  My code is: 
  **********************************
  Vector v=new Vector();        * 
  v.add(new Integer("1404")); *
  v.add("Something Here");    *
  **********************************                 
   The result XML is 
  **********************************************************************
  <array>
    <data>
      <value><int>1404</int></value>
      <value>Something&#32;Here</value>
    </data>
  </array>
  **********************************************************************

  Is there a way to produce the exact same XML as XML-RPC defined by using apache's api?

  2) If I want to generate 
  <array>
    <data>
      <value><i4>001404</i4></value>
    </data>
  </array>

  as I want to preserve the zero before 1404. What should I do?

  Best regards,
