The library is pretty much supported and live. As oppose to SOAP gets a lot more attention lately, the XML-RPC spec remained static. But its original goal of making the disributed computing simple is well achieved. XML-RPC is designed to be as simple as possible, while allowing complex data structures to be transmitted, processed and returned. If all you are looking for is a small and simple distributed application XML-RPC is your choice. I have used Apache implementation to transmit large image data in JPEG, DICOM format to be processed by the server and returned to fat Java clients. It was very simple and easy to code and works well.

Is it still alive, or completely dead? What can I do if I need small XML RPC library and no overbloated stuff like Apache Axis (which maybe can do XML RPC too)? I was browsing list of java implementations at http://xmlrpc.scripting.com/directory/1568/implementations and all are old or dead. Or there was found some problem with XML RPC protocol and it's now obsolete? Thanks for any hint or suggestion, Petr
