I'm not sure that discussing XML-RPC is anything that the database user/developer should be concerned with. In principle he should XML:DB with the appropriate driver (i.e. the XML-RPC driver) no? We didn't bore end-developers with the details of CORBA before, why bother him with XML-RPC now? James > -Vladimir > > > -- > Vladimir R. Bossicard > www.bossicard.com >
