Can't give specifics on Xindice using ORB vs. Xindice using XMLRPC. But I can say that XMLRPC is anything but slow. We use it as the core to several of our remote api's and transport protocols and it's lightweight and fast. For interfaces dealing with simple data types, it leaves RMI and Corba in the dust from our experiences. -- Rob SoftSell Business Systems, Ltd.
