SandStorm - http://sstorm.sourceforge.net/

The XML-RPC home page can be found at - http://www.xmlrpc.com/

In conjunction with xmlBlaster which is a message oriented middleware server
that can facilitate communications between CORBA, RMI, and XML-RPC the
facilities available to a lowly web script become VERY interesting,  escpecially
with a bunch of GNOME (CORBA based) objects floating about.  Applications can
even register what messages they want to receive,  and the sender can assume
they get to the right place,  or wait for confirmation.

And all open source!  So much amazing technology, so litte time.....
