"Joda-Time provides a quality replacement for the Java date and time classes. The design allows for multiple calendar systems, while still providing a simple API. The 'default' calendar is the ISO8601 standard which is used by XML. The Gregorian, Julian, Buddhist, Coptic, Ethiopic and Islamic systems are also included, and we welcome further additions. Supporting classes include time zone, duration, format and parsing. "

Apache XML-RPC is a Java implementation of XML-RPC, a popular protocol that uses XML over HTTP to implement remote procedure calls.

Calendar objects are supported. In particular, timezone settings, and milliseconds may be sent. DOM nodes, or JAXB objects, can be transmitted.

Both server and client can operate in a streaming mode, which preserves resources much better than the default mode, which is based on large internal byte arrays.
