I can't help you with the examples, but I can tell you that I am creating a similar app that utilizes XML-RPC to get data from a JDO Database Server to clients.
Performance and reliability are noticably better with XML-RPC protocal. My old legacy app utilized ODBC which was slower and notoriously would fail for no reasonable reason. Utilizing the built in webserver and a wrapper class to get to the JDO database, I had a prototype system up within a day. I've spent more time debugging network configuration than any code directly related to XML-RPC....
My 2 cents...

I am pretty new to Java and even newer to JAX-RPC. Does anyone know of any examples of how XML-RPC has been utilized for Database Access? Authentication of a user, viewing of data, updating tables, persistance? I am thinking of using XML-RPC for an application deployed on the web with WebStart (JNLP) since it is lighter than JDBC drivers. Any ideas on why not to do it this way?
Thanks,
