I have a case: make work with forum by API fo Forum Engine IP.Board.
So i wrote next code:
package ru.test;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException;
import org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClient;
import org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClientConfigImpl;
public class mainClass {
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
XmlRpcClientConfigImpl config = new XmlRpcClientConfigImpl();
try {
config.setServerURL(new URL("http://hbf.by/interface/board/index.php"));
XmlRpcClient client = new XmlRpcClient();
client.setConfig(config);
Object[] params = new Object[]{"74600b7376c4b1db69eaf8f155f2d157", "ipb","','"};
Object result = client.execute("fetchOnlineUsers", params);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (XmlRpcException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
But i get exception
org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: IP.Board could not locate an API module called ''

What's wrong?
In Documentation (http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/documentation/index.html/_/developer-resources/miscellaneous-articles/xml-rpc-api-r246) sayed:
You should submit XML-RPC calls to the interface/board/index.php file. You should send all parameters as a struct.
Every request must submit two parameters: api_key - this should be the key set up earlier. api_module - this should be "ipb". Theoretically, you can create other modules, but "ipb" is all that ships with IP.Board.
Where i make mistake.
And also how i can get methods.php file?
I write URL http://hbf.by/interface/board/modules/ipb/methods.php
But get blank page.
But also in Documentation sayed:
Open the interface/board/modules/ipb/methods.php file to see which parameters each method expects to receive and will send back in response
May be some server need configurations, but in internet i can't find it.
Your code does seem to match the documentation.
But, XMLRPC often specifies the module in the call like this
Object result = client.execute("ipb.fetchOnlineUsers", params);
You could try that.
