Hi, I want to create an external bug for a red hat bug using XML RPC, and I wrote:


    public void createExternalBug(String bugID,String extSysID,String extBugID)
    throws DoggierException{
    	if(client==null){
    		throw new DoggierException(301,theURL);
    	}
    	if(!isLoggedIn){
    		throw new DoggierException(302,theURL);
    	}
    	Integer bugid=null;
    	Integer extBZID=null;
    	Integer extbugID=null;
    	try{
    	    bugid=new Integer(bugID);
    	    extBZID=new Integer(extSysID);
    	    extbugID=new Integer(extBugID);
    	}catch(NumberFormatException e){
    		throw new DoggierException(303,bugID);
    	}
    	HashMap hm=new HashMap();
    	hm.put("bug_id",bugID);
    	hm.put("ext_bz_id",extSysID);
    	hm.put("ext_bz_bug_id",extBugID);
    	try{
    	    client.execute("ExternalBugs.create",new Object[]{hm});
    	}catch(XmlRpcException e){
    		e.printStackTrace();
    		throw new DoggierException(347,e.getMessage(),theURL);
    	}
    }


But errors seems:

Do you know how should I write code to create external bug using XML RPC?

Quite urgent for our deployment of distros bridge!

Thanks!
