I see.

Well : this won't be a direct answer to your question (I still have to 
think about the best answer) but I remind that we have a Google Summer 
of Code "slot" to code a JSR 225 implementation that will allow to 
access eXist with *standard* API.

We already have some stubs for this in the source code (similar to your 
my-driver-for-exist.jar ?) and the work should consist in writing 
something that coud be compared to what is currently in org.exist.xmldb 
(which you probably have in your 
exist-related-to-xmldb-and-xmlrpc-only.jar). Regarding remote access, we 
plan to rely on REST, not on XML-RPC (you would thus need 2 libraries 
less ;-).

My 2 cents,
