Hi Mate,

you are right, the client classes didn't work with JDK 1.1x anymore.

I have changed this in the current cvs, please do a cvs checkout.

Then do a

build.bat all
  -> compiles everything

build.bat -DADD_COLLECTION=true dist-client
  -> creates a dist-client/lib/xmlBlasterClient.jar

You can switch on/off which jar files are included for the client
see usage with 'build.bat usage'.


Start the xmlBlaster server and then a client:


java -classpath 
${JAVA_HOME}/lib/classes.zip:dist-client/lib/xmlBlasterClient.jar:lib/jaxp.jar:lib/parser.jar 
javaclients.ClientSub -client.protocol XML-RPC


which runs fine with JDK 1.1.8 here with xmlrpc!


Note that using CORBA (-client.protocol IOR) or
RMI (-client.protocol RMI) does not work.
I have posted this issue to the JacORB mailing list.

The RMI problem i haven't tracked down.

thanks for reporting the problem,

Marcel
