XML-RPC is a standard protocol, so I'm sure that Apache's implementation 
will be fine for your purposes. Any library that lets you interface with 
XML-RPC will be fine, actually.
You may want to check out XenServer's Java bindings: 
http://community.citrix.com/display/xs/Download+SDKs . XCP and XenServer 
share the same code base, and XCP 1.1 is equivalent to XenServer 5.6 
SP2. If you follow that link, you'll find Java bindings about halfway 
down the page.
By XSD, do you mean the XML schema for the API? I don't think we have 
anything that specific for XenAPI, but you will probably be fine with 
just following the API docs: 
http://docs.vmd.citrix.com/XenServer/5.6.0sp2/1.0/en_gb/api/ . There are 
also a few example programs that use Python: 
http://community.citrix.com/display/xs/XenServer+Python+API+Samples .
Good luck with your project!
