Groovy XML-RPC

XML-RPC is a protocol which allows different programs written in different programming languages running on different machines to communicate over the Internet. Groovy has an XML-RPC implementation which allows you to create an XML-RPC server and to make calls on remote XML-RPC servers.

The Server

It's really easy to set up a server which provides a set of remotely callable functions.

1. Create a server object
2. Add some methods
3. Start the server
4. You're done!

The Client

It's pretty easy to make the remote calls too

1. Create a proxy object to represent the remote server
2. Call the remote method via the proxy
3. That's all you need
