/**
 * This object is used to create a XML-RPC request to a specific remote XML-RPC
 * server. The caller is required to create this object for each XML-RPC request.
 * 
 * The caller uses the addParam(), addArray() and/or addStruct() functions to 
 * build up XML-RPC request content in XmlRpcBody.
 * 
 * - addParam() is for adding a param in the XmlRpcRequest.
 * 
 * All the param types must be UtlContainable. Here is the mapping from XML-RPC
 * types to UtlContainable types:
 * 
 * * <i4> or <int> is UtlInt.
 * * <i8> is UtlLongLongInt
 * * <boolean> is UtlBool.
 * * <string> is UtlString.
 * * <dateTime.iso8601> is UtlDateTime.
 * * <array> is UtlSList.
 * * <struct> is UtlHashMap.
 * 
 * <i8> is a SIPfoundry extension to XML-RPC that is not compatible with other
 * XML-RPC implementations. 
 * <double> and <base64> are currently not supported.
 *  
 * The execute() function closes the XML-RPC request frame and sends the
 * request to the remote server specified in the Url. The execute() function
 * receives the XmlRpcResponse from the remote server. If the return is true,
 * the caller can use getResponse() to obtain the response value. If the return
 * is false, the caller can use getFault() in XmlRpcResponse to get the fault
 * code and fault string.
 *
