> When declaring methods to be executed via XML-RPC, it would be beneficial to
> remove the tight coupling on the Vector class and instead use List.
> That way, it would be possible for the classes (client, server and XML-RPC
> itself) to choose the appropriate implementation for their specific needs, but
> should not impact the code much.
> For instance, while building a list of parameters (which normally would be sent
> as a Vector parameter into the method), I can think of several instances where
> it would be more efficient on the client to use LinkedList (or ArrayList)
> instead, in order to manipulate the list. However, on the server side the method
> could just check for List, and XML-RPC would be free to create it as a Vector as
> it does now.
> Same thing on the server side when building a List which will be returned back
> to the client when the method returns.
> Unfortunately at this point XML-RPC will not call a method that uses List in the
> parameter list, and will not accept a return value of type List.
