% cat server.rb
require 'xmlrpc/server'

class ClusterManager
  def start_application args
    p args
    return "ok"
  end
end

server = XMLRPC::Server.new 1998, `hostname`.strip
server.add_handler "ClusterManager", ClusterManager.new
server.serve


% cat test.rb
require 'xmlrpc/client'

client = XMLRPC::Client.new "fatire", nil, 1998

begin
  puts client.call "ClusterManager.start_application", "oogie boogie woogie"
rescue XMLRPC::FaultException => e
  p e
  p e.faultCode
  p e.faultString
end


% ruby test.rb
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:535:in `do_rpc': HTTP-Error:
500 Internal Server Error (RuntimeError)
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:409:in `call2'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:399:in `call'
        from test.rb:7

What's up with the 500 Internal Server Error?
 (btw, "oogie boogie woogie" printed in the server output).
