Unable to access xmlRpc API from OpenMRS module

1

I am trying to call xmlRpc API in my own OpenMRS module. Dependancies I added for xmlRpc:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.xmlrpc</groupId>
    <artifactId>xmlrpc-client</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.xmlrpc</groupId>
    <artifactId>xmlrpc-common</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.3</version>
</dependency>

But I am getting an error :

org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Handler processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.xmlrpc.util.SAXParsers

Before i get into trying to locally reproduce this error, do you mind explaining a bit why you decided to use XML-RPC? :slight_smile:

I want to implement odoo in my module for accounting & sales information.

here link of odoo xmRpc: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/10.0/api_integration.html

Do you have the module somewhere like on github such that i try to reproduce it?
