This is an example of how to implement an XML-RPC server by registering callbacks to specific methods and how to make xmlrpc calls using the builtin xmlrpc() factory provided by Drupal.

Code

function xmlrpc_example_xmlrpc() {
  $methods[] = array(
    'xmlrpc_example.add',
    // Method name
    '_xmlrpc_example_server_add',
    // Callback to execute
    array(
      // Array of types for output/input parameteres
      'int',
      // the type of the return value
      'int',
      // the type of the first argument
      'int',
    ),
    t('Returns the sum of the two arguments.'),
  );

  // The subtract method is similiar to the addition
  $methods[] = array(
    'xmlrpc_example.subtract',
    '_xmlrpc_example_server_subtract',
    array(
      'int',
      'int',
      'int',
    ),
    t('Return difference of the two arguments.'),
  );
  return $methods;
}
