Probably you have had this question quite a lot of times already, but I could 
not find an answer yet, so I am asking you for help.

Just starting with implementing XML-RPC. Installed XML-RPC from Apache (version 
1.2-b1) and took the examples from the O'Reilly book "Web Services Essentials", 
chapter 2.

I compiled as well the server (AreaServer.java) and client (AreaClient.java) 
without problem.
Then started the server in one window, assigning port 8899 on localhost.
The program just runs for a moment (should it?), stating that it successfully 
started the server, and registered the handler, then stops.
In another window, I start the client, and get the error:
IOException: Connection refused: connect.

I playd around with some other examples, and found out that very probably the 
server is just not running (although it claimed it successfully started).
I also tried to telnet to the server, and got:
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
Yet another sign that the server is not running.

I am working on Windows XP.

When I start the server program, is it normal that it just runs outs (stops) 
after a short moment ?
Or is that normal and is there a XML-RPC server started in the background.
Anyway I do not see any process running when inspecting all running processes.

Please help me further,
