You need very little in your app to handle an XML-RPC call you  
basically just listen on a sever port and handle the incoming requests.

Have a look at my minimal Java XML-RPC server http://www.wilson.co.uk/ 
xml/minmlrpc.htm. This is a multi threaded XML-RPC server with no  
external dependancies (it include an XML parser) in a jar which is  
smaller than 60Kb.

It's BSD licensed so you can cut and past whatever you need into your  
code.
