-= Welcome to Trac 0.10rc1 =
+=== XML-RPC Delight ===
 
-Trac is a '''minimalistic''' approach to '''web-based''' management of
-'''software projects'''. Its goal is to simplify effective tracking and handling of software issues, enhancements and overall progress.
+  '''Using XML-RPC the easy way ...'''
+ 
+----
+ 
+'''XML-RPC Delight is meant for''': All users that want to have their java components connected using a web-based protocol but don't want to waste time with defining the interfaces a second time in another language-independed description format and then generate stubs and skeletons and so on.[[BR]]
+ 
+     
 
-All aspects of Trac have been designed with the single goal to 
-'''help developers write great software''' while '''staying out of the way'''
-and imposing as little as possible on a team's established process and
-culture.
+'''XML-RPC Delight is an addon''' to the XML-RPC specification ([http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec]) and builds on apache's implementation ([http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/]).

+  
+== Design Objectives ==
+  - have java components interact over internet wire with a minimum of programming and
+    configuration effort
+  
+  - preserve XML-RPC compliance
+  
+  - make '''EVERY''' type XML-RPC transportable with minimal coding effort (ideally, not a single line of extra code!)
+  
+  - do not interfere with design of remote interfaces. Within the remote calls, one should be able to use any
+    type or interface he wants.
 
-"[wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] ''yourenvdir'' initenv" created
-a new Trac environment, containing a default set of wiki pages and some sample
-data. This newly created environment also contains 
-[wiki:TracGuide documentation] to help you get started with your project.
-
-You can use [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] to configure
-[http://trac.edgewall.org/ Trac] to better fit your project, especially in
-regard to ''components'', ''versions'' and ''milestones''. 
+  - neither the client nor the server has to be forced to load configuration files
+    or register factories programmatically in order to use non XML-RPC compliant types in remote calls.
 
 
-TracGuide is a good place to start.
 
-Enjoy! [[BR]]
-''The Trac Team''
+== Overview ==
+XML-RPC Delight creates remote clients to java APIs that are supposed to be used remotely. XML-RPC Delight does this at runtime, not at compile time! [[BR]]
+In case the API uses types which are not XML-RPC compliant, '''java annotations''' and user-defined conversion methods allow for '''automatic tranformation of types''' to and from a XML-RPC compliant representation. Optimally, one can use non-compliant java classes in XML-RPC calls without having to code a single line of code!!
 
-== Starting Points ==
 
- * TracGuide --  Built-in Documentation
- * [http://trac.edgewall.org/ The Trac project] -- Trac Open Source Project
- * [http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracFaq Trac FAQ] -- Frequently Asked Questions
- * TracSupport --  Trac Support
+While all the automatic conversion is done, communication with the server is still XML-RPC compliant so that remote methods can still be called by non-java languages.
