XmlRpc client using Scala

Question

I need to consume an xmlrpc service from Scala, and so far it looks like my only option is the Apache XML-RPC library.

I added this dependency to my Build.scala:

"org.apache.xmlrpc" % "xmlrpc" % "3.1.3"

and sbt reported no problem in downloading the library. However, I don't know how to go about actually accessing the library.

val xml = org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient("http://foo") wouldn't compile

and

import org.apache.xmlrpc._

reported that object xmlrpc was not a member of package org.apache.

What would be the correct package to import?

(Or, is there a better library for XmlRpc from Scala?)

Answer 1

Try

"org.apache.xmlrpc" % "xmlrpc-client" % "3.1.3"

and so :

  class XmlRpc(val serverURL: String) {

    import org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClient
    import org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClientConfigImpl
    import org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcSunHttpTransportFactory
    import java.net.URL
    val config = new XmlRpcClientConfigImpl();
    config.setServerURL(new URL(serverURL));
    config.setEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
    val client = new XmlRpcClient();
    client.setTransportFactory(new XmlRpcSunHttpTransportFactory(client));
    client.setConfig(config);

    client.execute(...)
  }
