Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is implemented using XML-based message encoding wherein elements in the message corresponding to arguments of the RPC are associated with element type indicators selected from a defined set. The type indicators may allow the message itself to identify structural aspects of the message, particularly useful in the context of array elements, but useful for other types of elements as well.

XML remote procedure call (XML-RPC)

An integration server translates transmissions from clients and servers to a form that each can understand. The integration server accomplishes this through invocation of one or more services, and a flow language is disclosed for managing the flow of data through the services. In addition, service invocation results are cached for later use on reception by the integration server of the same or equivalent service invocation request.

Integration server supporting multiple receiving channels

A Remote Procedure Call (RPC) uses a message expressed in a mark-up language message encoding, with type labels indicating data item types.
