    What about XML-RPC.com's XML-RPC

    c.vidal

      Hi,

      The XML-RPC term is often used throughout the JBoss documentation, and I guess it's refering to JAX-RPC/SOAP, I know that the later is based on XML and that it is RPC, so technically speaking it is not wrong to refer to JAX-RPC/SOAP as an XML-RPC type of thingy, but as XML-RPC is also a specification of its own, it is quite confusing.

      So first of all I would like to know if my understanding is right, and secondly, I would like to know if an XML-RPC (as specified by xmlrpc.com) service is available in JBoss out of the box.

      Then, if it is not, what would be the best strategy to add that support in JBoss for my web application ?

          Has anyone had any experience in adding Apache XML-RPC as a Message format to Axis ?

              Out of the box JBoss does not support XML-RPC. However, it can easily be added to any war by adding the XML-RPC Jar. XML-RPC isn't as robust as SOAP and requires a lot more coding on both client and server sides. On the plus side, the XML-RPC a lot more light-weight than SOAP and works nicely with Perl and PHP implementaions. You should also not tha the Apache implementation is quite out of date and doesn't make full use of teh servlet API. The Apache implementation was orginally desined as a standalong server. Hope this helps.
