Hi Michael

What I think you want to do is write a component, that plugs into
the jabberd server. The most common / flexible form of a component
is one that exists as a separate process and makes a socket connection
to the Jabber server. 

As far as getting the messages passed to the service, it's down
to how the messages are addressed. Each component has its own
address.

Btw, there's already some stuff for XML-RPC over Jabber (Jabber-RPC)
and SOAP, that you might want to look at (implemented in Perl)

Jabber::RPC 
SOAP::Lite
