Basically, I am able to access Bugzilla Webservice API through java

code(xmlrpc) and in return i get a object of <<class

java.util.HashMap>>. According to Bugzilla documentation two items

are returned, bugs and faults, both are array of hashes and I want to

access these. Thanks.

Cast to a HashMap and iterate over all of its keys.

(not tested):

// create bug

    Object createResult = rpcClient.execute("Bug.search", new

Object[]{bugMap});

       //createResult.toString();

   HashMap bugs = (HashMap)createResult;

   for( Object key : bugs.keySet() ) {

     System.out.println( "Key "+key.getClass().getName()

                       + "= "+key

                       + ", value "+ bugs.get( key ).getClass().getName()

                       + "= "+ bugs.get( key )

                 );

   }

More info here:

The Code you have given gives output as:

<< Key java.lang.String= bugs, value [Ljava.lang.Object;= [Ljava.lang.Object;@78812862 >>

Which means that object is a hashmap Having Key as "bugs" and value itself is another object.(As per my understanding)

According to documentation,
bugs- is an array of hashes that contains information about the bugs with the valid ids. Each hash contains the following items
1.component
string, The name of the current component of this bug.

2.creation_time
dateTime, When the bug was created.

3.creator
string, The login name of the person who filed this bug (the reporter).

4.id
int, The unique numeric id of this bug.

Now i cant undersatnd how do i proceed to get these informations.

Thanks.
