xmlrpc server in jython - jython

Question

I've tested in jython the xmlrpc code that works in python:
server code:
import xmlrpclib
from SimpleXMLRPCServer import SimpleXMLRPCServer
def is_even(n):
return n%2 == 0
server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000))
print "Listening on port 8000..."
server.register_function(is_even, "is_even")
server.serve_forever()
client code:
import xmlrpclib
proxy = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("http://localhost:8000/")
print "3 is even: %s" % str(proxy.is_even(3))
print "100 is even: %s" % str(proxy.is_even(100))
I have the errors:
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1224, in __call__

return u.close()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 793, in close

I suppose I need to include the xerces library to the server?

Answer 1

It turns oft that I need to include de xerces library into the CLASSPATH. But what I don't understand is why it's not included by default when I install Jython
