Also, can you comment on what it means in the javadoc for 2.1-dev where it says that the CommonsXmlRpcTransportFactory isn't thread safe?
I believe you've been misreading that. A configured CommonsXmlRpcTransport*Factory* is thread safe. (Configuration on the fly should not occur, though, but that seems to me to be acceptable.) The note on thread safety is in the transport itself. Basically it simply indicates, that a new instance has to be created for any request. But that's exactly how it is coded. I understand the note to tell, that a possible performance gain might be to reuse the transport and, in particular, the commons httpclient objects. As I do not know, how connection reuse and the like works within this library, I can't tell you whether that is the case. Obviously, reliability is more important than performance and so I do think it will remain the same, at lest for version 2.
