Not  that  I  know of. The JSPWiki "standard" has been implemented for
Twiki,  Moin  Moin  and  Openwiki  (I  think),  but  there  are slight
variations in the functionality available

What  method are you trying to call? Did you prefix it with "wiki." eg
wiki.getAllPages

Try this link:

http://www.dscpl.com.au/xmlrpc-debugger.php?method=wiki.getAllPages&params=()&url=http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/demo/RPC2.php

Don't forget to click execute.

This  had  be  confused  for  a  while  too. In fact it is because the
validator    works   by   calling   certain   test   methods   -   see
http://www.xmlrpc.com/validator1Docs

The  idea  is  that  if  you  write  a  library,  you  can  test it by
implementing  the  methods within a test script and then and using the
validator.  It  is  the  server  code,  not  the  library which has to
implement  the  methods. I have not written handlers for the validator
methods  (life's  too  short)  so the phpwiki server does not pass the
test.

Let me know if you have any other problems.
