Subject: RfC: The Apache XML-RPC streaming branch
Hi,
here's now my proposal for Apache XML-RPC 3, called the streaming
branch. It is an almost complete rewrite and not source compatible.
(Almost definitely the most important aspect to discuss.)This announcement is a request for comments, flames (hopefully not
too much or too heavy :-), and any other type of discussions.
The new features are:
- Build system based on Maven 2
- Uses a standard JAXP 1.1 compliant SAX 2 parser (typically the one,
that comes with your JRE).
- Assumes Java 1.2. In other words, it supports collections.
- Several so-called vendor extensions. Vendor extensions are clearly
separated from the default mode, which is still compliant to the
XML-RPC specification. For example, to enable request compression,
you have to enable the properties "enabledForExtensions" (activate
vendor extensions in general) and "gzipCompressing".Available vendor extensions include:
- Streaming mode (doesn't set the content-length header); the
streaming mode has an extremely low memory profile. This includes
a streaming base64 encoder.
- Request and response compression (this features have always been
available in version2, but haven't been clearly expressed as
vendor extensions).
- Additional data types: Null, long, float, byte, short, DOM
fragments, java.io.Serializable, JAXB objectsThe streaming branches web site is available from
http://people.apache.org/~jochen/xmlrpc/site
The maven 2 compliant distribution directory is
http://people.apache.org/~jochen/xmlrpc/dist
Regards,
Jochen

I would like to see security/ssl integrated as much as possible.
Information and working examples on getting XMLRPC/SSL working is very
sparse. The gzipCompression would be very welcomed as well.
