[Xen-tools] Intergation of Web Services in the Xen tools

["edoardo81\@libero\.it" <edoardo81@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
I recently worked on the Xen tools. My goal was to implement a web services 
interface in a symilar manner to the existing XML-RPC interface. I was able to 
export all the management function as web services in order to administer my 
Xen nodes remotely. I wrote a WSDL file for all the method exported and I 
published it in the Xend integrated HTTP server. I managed to connect to Xen 
enabled machines from clients written with Axis/Jax-Rpc and SOAPpy (the latter 
I used to implement the SOAP server). The automatic generation of the Java Stub 
and SEI interface with WSDL2Java works very well and is very straightforward to 
write simple clients (I also wrote a more complex client using java swing by 
which I could control a network of Xen enabled machines).

I released a patch which works on the current release of Xen (3.0.2) but still 
applies on the previous version (3.0 unstable).
