xml-rpc server specify request format - El Forum - 04-12-2010

Hello,
I am very new to CodeIgniter.
I have a server in PHP running with CI. I have Java / VB clients that need to connect to this server and get data using XML-RPC.
I have tried using the example in the Xml-RPC guide for the server:
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/xmlrpc.html
The test server is running in my local machine.
However, I get an error when I try to call the server. For client, I am trying to use a simple html form that post the data and calls the server. Shouldnt it work?
I need to specify the format for the Clients to connect and I could not find a good enough documentation.
client code :
---------------------------------------------
<?php
$xml='
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>Greetings</methodName>
<params>
<param>
<value>How is it going?</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodCall>
';
$xml = htmlspecialchars($xml);
?>
<form method='post' action='http://localhost/testci/index.php/xmlrpc_server'>
<input type='text' name='xml' value='<?php echo $xml;?>'>
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'>
<form>
-----------------------------
I get the error :
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://localhost/testci/index.php/xmlrpc_server
Line Number 1, Column 6:array(2) {
-----^
Thanks.
