Building Web 2.0 Ready Applications with XML-RPC

For the last month at work I’ve been building an admin backend for a huge application. The application runs as a large Java XML-RPC server which takes request, performs database and cache operations and returns data.

At first I hated this idea, mainly because it was so different to the typical lamp development flow I was used to. However, now I’m completely converted, and I feel as though it’s my duty to share with you my experience, and preach to you the way of the divided application.
