Recently I developed an applet that takes data from
a web server either by RMI or if not available by SOAP. The SOAP was simple
enough to do using the Apache product. However I was horrified to see the amount
of baggage I have to carry for SOAP (something like over 1MB of junk
- most of which I don't need). So I thought of looking at XML-RPC as an
alternative. My first obstacle to using XML-RPC is that I use a few user defined
types in my code. I could rewrite the interface to remove these types but I
would much prefer to develop my own handler as this wouldn't allow a similar
interface for both SOAP and XML-RPC.
Okay so know my questions are :
1) Is this a good idea - It may break some of the
generic nature of XML-RPC but I don't really need this as I have the SOAP
for this anyway.
2) Where can I get source code for this project. I
may be blind but I don't see it any source for Invoker in the downloads or
CVS.
Thanks,
Shimon
