i don't know about andrea's efforts, but i used xmlrpc for registering ser users' phone numbers with tier-1 enum database in finland. finnish authorities had specified xmlrpc interface for that purpose.
In short, I plan to write an xmlrpc-based provisioning system for distributing FIFO commands. The main focus is sharing registration contacts and aliases among different SERs (all the data that can't be replicated on a lower (database) layer due to memory caching).
There's an external application on each SER host receiving contacts from a SER module via a local socket. These contacts are wrapped into xmlrpc (in fact the contact is converted into a FIFO command which is wrapped into xmlrpc) and are distributed to the same application on other SER hosts, which writes them into the SER FIFO. If an application is unreachable or reports an error, the distributed FIFO command is queued.
The application can receive arbitrary FIFO commands, and a flag indicates if the command should be redistributed to the other hosts.
