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 http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc Hope to read you on the projects mailing lists.
