Re: [xwt-users] Passing arrays in xmlrpc calls

> Hello,

Hi :)

> Is it possible to pass arrays in xmlrpc calls from within xwt ?

Yes, it's possible - at least according to the xmlrpc specification it is:
http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec

<array>s

A value can also be of type <array>.

An <array> contains a single <data> element, which can contain any number
of <value>s.

Here's an example of a four-element array:

<array>
   <data>
      <value><i4>12</i4></value>
      <value><string>Egypt</string></value>
      <value><boolean>0</boolean></value>
      <value><i4>-31</i4></value>
   </data>
</array>

<array> elements do not have names.

Hmm I'm not sure how to actually pass arrays, I'm just certain it's
possible.  Perhaps it's related to the xwt.dom property.

Upon trying to locate that in the reference, I notice that Appendix F has
been removed from the reference.  What, how, why?
