How to use the XML RPC API using Java?

[Jean-Yves Kiger]

Hello,

I would like to develop a java application to store confluence content. I would like to use the XML-RPC API, but i hardly understand how i am supposed to use it.

I tried this code:

import java.net.URL;

import redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcFault;

import redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcProxy;

public class FIRSTCLASS {

static interface Confluence {

public String login(String username, String password)

throws XmlRpcFault;

public void logout(String loginToken) throws XmlRpcFault;

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

try {

URL url = new URL("https://dev.companyName.com/rpc/xmlrpc/");

Confluence confluence1 = (Confluence) XmlRpcProxy.createProxy(url,

new Class[] { Confluence.class }, true);

String token = confluence1.login("myConfluenceUserName",

"myConfluencePassWord");

confluence1.logout(token);

} catch (Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

}

}

but I get this exception:

redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: The response could not be parsed.

at redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient.handleResponse(Unknown Source)

I checked with our confluence administrator, and the plug in RPC seems to be activated... do you have any idea about what I am missing? Given that when I use confluence I use the following url : https://dev.companyName.com/wiki/dashboard.action#

Thank you for your answers, and my apologies for approximative english and possibly stupid question.

Try with this URL instead - https://dev.companyName.com/wiki/rpc/xmlrpc/ (you need the context path "/wiki" as well)

I got the same exception with the wiki/ may it come from a bad instalation of the RPC pugin?

Ok, i enventually retried with the added wiki/ (and not wiki// as i did the first time...) and it works. Thank you very much.
