Apache XMLRPC 1.0 Released

Posted by Hemos on from the new-code-released dept.

jvanzyl writes "The Apache XMLRPC team is pleased to announce the 1.0 release! Apache XML-RPC is a Java implementation of XML-RPC, a popular protocol that uses XML over HTTP to implement remote procedure calls. Apache XML-RPC was previously known as Helma XML-RPC. If you have code using the Helma library, all you should have to do is change the import statements in your code from helma.xmlrpc.* to org.apache.xmlrpc.*."

    Is this compatible with SOAP? I thought they were working towards that but there's nothing in the announcement about it ...

    I've been following this for some time since I accidentaly bought the O'Reilly book by mistake (was actually looking for a book on SOAP) when it was onsale. The 'pusher' behind this is MicroSoft. What's interesting is the big pusher that used to be behind SOAP was MicroSoft as well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but XML-RPC is a much ligher-weight XML competitor to SOAP-RPC. Yes, SOAP does much more than RPC, but that was the original intention behind it. Could MS be pushing XML-RPC because it's lost the majority of control of SOAP??
