[Exist-open] XML-RPC Issue - 'NoSuchMethodException' but I'm using correct type for query

[Matt W. <ma...@en...>]

Hello All,

I have spent the last 6 hours looking for a solution to this issue,  
but I seem to be going around in circles.
I started by following the perl example as set out on the developer  
documentation for a simple 'execute', using a 'string' type for the  
query, which threw up the following:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: org.exist.xmlrpc.RpcAPI.execute 
(org.exist.security.User, java.lang.String)

After reading a mail in the archive it appears that strings are now  
to be passed as base64 in order to overcome unicode issues - so I can  
understand why I would obtain the result above.

After converting the query to a 'base64' type, and attempting the  
query via XML-RPC I get the following faultString:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: org.exist.xmlrpc.RpcAPI.execute 
(org.exist.security.User, [B)

The request I am sending to the eXist server is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>execute</methodName>
<params>
<param>
   <value>
       
<base64>Zm9yICRzcGVlY2ggaW4gLy9TUEVFQ0hbTElORSAmPSAndGVhcionXQpvcmRlciBi 
eSAkc3Bl&#10;ZWNoL1NQRUFLRVJbMV0KcmV0dXJuCiAgICAkc3BlZWNo&#10;</base64>
   </value>
</param>
</params>
</methodCall>

Which I would have thought to be correct.

The same occurs for the other methods I have tried.

The query itself is the same as used in the developer documentation,  
and works in the sandbox on my local machine.

I have tried with both 1.0.2-rev5396 and 1.1.1-newcore with equal  
effect.

Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Kind Regards,

Matt Williams
