Apache XML-RPC is a Java implementation of XML-RPC, a popular protocol that uses XML over HTTP to implement remote procedure calls. Compared to SOAP, or JAX-RPC, it is stable, much simpler and easier to handle. Version 3 of Apache XML-RPC introduces several important vendor extensions over the original XML-RPC specification.

The newest version!
