XML-RPC

A lot of web services, like flickr, livejournal etc, provide APIs for developers. Both of the above use the XML-RPC protocol to make remote procedure calls. I was trying to find a .net implementation for xml-rpc when I came across this. Unfortunately I was not able to make it run on mono :( So I moved over to PERL. I used the frontier API and it ran beautifully. I was not satisfied and wanted to try the java api. It didn't work :( Here is a nice XML-RPC HOWTO on it.
[Update] The java xml-rpc worked. I was stupid enough not to include the files in the CLASSPATH.
