xAP-cache (http://patrick.lidstone.net/cache.htm)
can probably be bent to
meet your needs, in that it can return a web page which contains
user-defined fields based on the last n xAP messages of a particular
class/type/field.

To send xAP messages in response to hitting a URL, you can use any xAP
command line sender program on a web server, activated as a CGI script.

To 'receive' xAP messages vial a URL or web service, you're going to need
to
periodically poll a cache of some kind.

I really should get round to re-writing xAP-cache with a 'proper'
web-service interface. Ho hum.
