Hmm... I wonder if we'll be able to implement fully the Confluence
spec. This will be a good test. For example:
Vector getPermissions(String token, String spaceKey) - Returns a
Vector of Strings representing the permissions the current user has
for this space (a list of "view", "modify", "comment" and /
or "admin").
This means that we need to support the confluence "token"s if we want
XMLRPC client tools to work seamlessly with XWiki. Which means we
need a good mapping between Confluence permissions and XWiki
permissions.
So it means we need to support calling: getPermissions("modify") and
getPermissions("edit") both need to work.

2. How can i
check whether a certain RPC invocation have admin
rights ? (A simple code sample would be greate!!!)
You don't check, you simply know it... :)
Meaning if the user wants to remove a space you first check if he
has admin rights (do we have an API for this? If not we should
probably add it) and if so calls the removeSpace method.
Confluence API has a lot of methods for such tasks (in security
section), but non of them are implemented (not even mentioned) in
our implementation. so, we'll have to work on it.
