xml-rpc error code must be an int and not a string

Planned for Open ERP v6.

Planned for v6.

Fabien,

I think we would really need that at Smile for our largest project.

you said it's planned for v6. Why? Is that because you don't have resources to do it or because it would break some backward compatibility critically?

If that's only a lack of resource, please do tell us because we might be ready to implement it, waiting the next version for one year is hardly and option and the workarounds are hugly for us.

Finally, you said it's planned for v6. But if you smply flag the bug as "won't fix", their is no clue it's planned for v6, so IMHO we should flag that in a different way (re-target it?) because else the risk it high that it get forgotten or that somebody looking for it have trouble finding that the bug is known (so he will win time, possibly fixing the bug instead of just asking himself if he is right or not).

Claimed to be fixed in Activity Solutions branch ( see https://code.launchpad.net/~activity/openobject-server/trunk ), revision #1256, Revision ID: <email address hidden>
see commit: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~activity/openobject-server/trunk/revision/1256

If this proves to be right, I suggest merging that to OpenERP server trunk at least.

Hope this helps,

Raphaël Valyi

Yes Its very irritating when working with heterogeneous environment, that we won't get the FaultCode and FaultString.

I'm using the attached patch till OpenERP doesn't support it, may be this can help out someone.

This patch will not affect any of OpenERP client as it checks for the UserAgent before raising the Exception.

+1

need to be corrected ASAP, breaks compatibilty with third parties and the XML-RPC standard

+1, major annoyance for integrating with Java app.

Keeping this as wishlist for post v6 + updated importance according to guidelines

All right, at least it's good we keep it in the radar indeed.

It is totally stupid to put that in the wishlist because it doesn't respect the XML-RPC standards. Please do it for version 6 because I always need to patch the server for integration with Java applications.

Please read before writing.

I have provided, months ago, a good explanation why this behavior CANNOT
change.
Don't keep posting the same question, it has been answered.

I don't see your explanation in this bug. Where is it?

Nor do I. I think this explanation is worth a read (we are facing serious
problems integrating OpenERP in a heterogeneous environment)

I'm still waiting... Where is your explanation? I want to understand why it is now in the wishlist!

I'm currently implementing an Android application and I just can't use Java XMLRPC libraries because of if this bug.
