[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Error while implementing open-ils.actor.patron.update method.

[Thomas Berezansky]

I don't think updates can be done over XMLRPC right now. The code on  
this branch would probably be needed first:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/903020

I personally recommend using the gateway or translator, rather than  
the XMLRPC connector though.
