xmlrpc is very nice, - it's really really simple to setup and easy to use. One issue though, there are slight differences between the java implementation and the python one (if I recall correctly, handling None is done differently), I haven't used SOAP, but I'll bet that there are slight differences there as well.
xmlrpc in python is done via the xmlrpclib module, examples are in the documentation. In java, you can use the apache package. I think that version 2 of the code was simpler. Ido. ----- Original Message ---- From: Ronnie Maor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Simon Robins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: python@linux.org.il Sent: Wednesday, June 6, 2007 11:32:15 PM Subject: Re: RPC from Java to Python a) yes - the code for toy examples would be very helpful as a starting point. b) do you have other recommendations - XML-RPC? JSON? to clarify my needs, it looks like: a) I must have a SOAP client in python b) an RPC protocol for call from Java -> Python, where I control both sides, and need something that's easy to use.

I can give you the code I used in a demo at the python group - they're toy examples though.
