XmlRpcServer::work() won't return

[Hendrik Belitz]

Hi all,

after testing XmlRpc++ I'm really amazed about the offered possibilities. But after writing a small testing application, I encountered a problem: I don't want the server to run forever, so I need to check for local events (keyboard etc.) at regular intervals. My approach looks something like:

...   
  while(1)
  {
      myServer.work(1000.0);
      if ( abortCommand() )
       break;
  }
  myServer.exit();
...

Now I realized that work() won't return at all, no matter what time amount I assign to its parameter. Does someone here knows how to circumvent or solve this issue?

It just not works.
I was exploring the sources of this library some time ago. So I needed to change actual source code to solve this issue.

Okay, now I got it. A really simple error indeed. Documentation describes the parameter of work() being measured in milliseconds, but actually it's being measured in secs.
