I've used it to do XMLRPC---implementing blogger/metaweblog/mt interfaces. It was a piece of cake to make it work, debugging was easy when things did go pear shaped (easy to dump input and output, etc.), it was about 1000% easier than I ever expected. > What about authentication?

The interfaces I was doing all pass user/password among the parameters to every invocation, and doing validation using the standard authz plugins in an auto method in the the module where I put the interfaces was, again, a piece of cake---it just worked. > Finally, will I need to (somehow) generate a WSDL document for each > service? Not a clue, since I was just working to implement a "standardized" interface. I daresay that it's not going to be "magic", but I don't imagine that implementing alternative interfaces will be very arduous, either.
