Not quite, since the xml string will be encasulated with <string> xml-code-of-given-struct </string> in the resulting http post. Now we are facing this xml-in-xml problem of xmlrpc which I have seen shortly somewhere in the internet (could not find it again though). Anyway, the main goal of the hxp project is for us to agree on a common language "dictionary" so the underlying transport and messaging technology is secondary. I am ready to discard xml-rpc if its shortcomings present more obstacles than the expected advantages derived from its simplicity. I will try to look more into the SOAP specs. I just hope that there are enough libraries for many platforms out there which are also easy to use. What I am planning to do now: a) extend further the procedure names in the PCD basing on the data that I would probably need from a remote application. Of course, these are all draft proposals and lots of it could change in the development process. b) Work further on the demo xmlrpc servers to support those procedure names I am proposing. c) Try to learn SOAP and try to construct online demo servers that will also support the current proposed procedure names. Jeffrey (on this list too) is currently working on his proposals for an authentication layer using PGP technology. It is good if we can integrate it in the demo servers right at the early phases of this project so we can evaluate it too. Since you mentioned that you plan to exchange form data, I would be very glad to read some documents outlining your plans. If you could create a pdf file of it I would be glad to include it on the list of draft proposals. Thanks a lot, elpidio ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
