Koders seems to be pretty stable, so I am guessing its a good place to bookmark

Luke's Gravatar Heaps of web apps out there support XML-RPC. Eg. Wordpress and Drupal have XML-RPC interfaces so you can eg. integrate it easier with a Flash front end or Flash elements. Pretty nifty although a bit verbose at times...

Brad Wood's Gravatar @TJ: Thanks for posting that link. That is actually where I finally found the code after just googling "xmlrpc.cfc"

CV's Gravatar Brad, just used the xmlrpc.cfc to integrate the Oodle.com API. Was a bit of a pain, but I needed to since Oodle is the largest classifieds site on the net.
