Class XmlRpcClient

public class XmlRpcClient
extends XmlRpcController
The main access point of an XML-RPC client. This object serves mainly as an object factory. It is designed with singletons in mind: Basically, an application should be able to hold a single instance of XmlRpcClient in a static variable, unless you would be working with different factories.

Until Apache XML-RPC 2.0, this object was used both as an object factory and as a place, where configuration details (server URL, suggested encoding, user credentials and the like) have been stored. In Apache XML-RPC 3.0, the configuration details has been moved to the XmlRpcClientConfig object. The configuration object is designed for being passed through the actual worker methods.

A configured XmlRpcClient object is thread safe: In other words, the suggested use is, that you configure the client using setTransportFactory(XmlRpcTransportFactory) and similar methods, store it in a field and never modify it again. Without modifications, the client may be used for an arbitrary number of concurrent requests.

Since:
3.0
