Thanks for the link to the excellent article comparing XML-RPC and SOAP,

Yeah. Now that you mention it, that would pretty well be overkill. The SOAP 
implementation works well, so unless there is a very strong reason to try 
something else, it's probably best to stick with SOAP. Plus, pretty much all 
of the grunt work for SOAP is taken care of by the Apache SOAP packages. The 
objects SJ sends through SOAP are all made up of simple get and set methods, 
so the serialization and de-serialization is all taken care of by 
Apache-SOAP w/out any customized serializers.
