I'll try out this setEncoding() method in XML-RPC. If it works, that would be great.
That would allow us at least to garantee remote Java support. Remote clients should still be disuaded then from connecting through XML-RPC, as no garantee can be made that that remote client will understand the UTTF-8, as the spec doesn't allow for it. On the other hand, I've also started using SOAP here for something else, and it seems pretty cool... I use Apache AXIS to do all the work and although it's still in alpha developmenmt stage, it seems to work really well (haven't really encountered any issues yet, even using Micro$oft VB clients...) I think in any case, you first need a Java server-side API that is "RPC-able", as neither SOAP or XML-RPC really have support for "remote objects", the way CORBA or RMI do. The current server API still would require remote objects. Once this API has been made (i.e. only serializable objects are used as parameters and return values in methods), making SOAP or XML-RPC of it should be a matter of applying the tools provided with either the XML-RPC or SOAP toolkit...
