Thread-topic: why not WSDL

Folks,

I am relatively new to this XEN API, so maybe this has already been discussed but I could not find any reference of it so far. I was wondering why not support WSDL and schema instead of simple XML-RPC interface. With WSDL, there are tools available to automatically generate client side stubs in different languages. But with XML-RPC one has to manually create the client side bindings.

With all the tools available today, it’s so much easier to work with WSDL and schema both on the client and server side. I was wondering why the open source Xen as well as Citrix is still sticking to the *old* XML-RPC interface.

Any thoughts?

-Ajay
