Hi,
I'd like to announce the availability of Apache XML-RPC
3.0a1. This is
an alpha release, which is not intended for production
environments. The
main purpose of this version is to receive feedback and user
impressions. Hopefully, it will also attract some more
people who are
ready to work on it.
Version 3 is a complete rewrite of the original code base.
The purpose
of the rewrite was the intention of so-called vendor
extensions: By
default, Apache XML-RPC is still a compliant implementation
of the
XML-RPC specification. (See http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec
for details.)
However, the following additional features are available on
the users
explicit request:
* All primitive Java types are supported, including
long, byte,
short, and double.
* DOM nodes, or JAXB objects, can be transmitted. So are
objects
implementing the java.io.Serializable interface.
* Both server and client can operate in a streaming
mode, which
allows to operate with an extremely low memory
profile.
Apache XML-RPC 3.0a1 is available from Apache mirrors via
http:/
/www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/ws/xmlrpc
The projects website is

Hope to read you on the projects mailing lists.
