How can I get the string result of a python method from the XML-RPC client in Java

Question

I wrote:

Object result = (Object)client.execute("method",params);

in java client.

Actually, the result should be printed in string format. But I can only output the address of "Object result", how can I get the content?

And I have tried String result = (String)client.execute("method",params);

It says lang.until.Object can not cast to lang.util.String.

As the server is written in Python, I was wondering how can I retrieve String from the method.

Answer 1

I'm hesitant to post this because it seems rather obvious - forgive me if you've tried this, but how about:

String result = (String)client.execute("method",params);

Answer 2

so maybe the object returned is not a string... are you sure that you're returning a string in your python application? I seriously doubt it.
