Yes but my background does make a bias on it... for example, the gory 
details of instructions are a bit superfluous to me... a single XML file 
(which could become exploded) would have been fine.
I also found that the tutorial lead me to way too many files to be 
written but I presume I'll realize the amplitued

I was using the cvs checkout believing xml-rpc was not in 1.3 (which is 
wrong as I see)... had to correct a few XSL mistakes (xsl:var elements 
were duplicate in templates) and that I could have wrongly done for sure...

Here's my attempt, in beanshell or java code, using the apache xml-rpc 
library and with server the xins server fed with the tutorial food with 
person becoming personName:
c = new org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient("http://127.0.0.1:8080/MyAPI/");
p = new Vector(); n = new Hashtable(); p.add(n); 
n.put("personName","Anselme");
r= c.execute("Hello",p);
... led me to:
{greeting=Hi there Anselme.}

So that's fine!!
(I realize I was making the error, earlier, that n was empty... but the 
only error I got was a status 400 (which makes an IOException instead of 
a decent xml-rpc fault saying missing params).
Two more questions:
- how much do you support keep-alive connections ? We have been using 
XML-RPC library in settings where as much as 300-500 queries a second 
happen so keep-alive is an important factor.
- how can I start for the integration of XINS in our ActiveMath 
web-application, using Tomcat thus far. Is there a XINS-servlet ? How do 
I add new "objects" and attach them to URLs ? Which ant-tasks should I 
use for the generation of the stubs and friends? I

thanks for XINS!
