I don't think so.

Hmm, xmlBlaster does not transform remote method
invocations, it delivers messages.

For example the method publish() can be
invoked from a CORBA or RMI or XML-RPC
client, to deliver a message.

There is no support for this.
You would need to code this by yourself as
an addon.

Shure, client and server are independend code
fragments, which may be linked together into
one process.
