You have to document the service in some other way and then the users have to write all the code. If there was a REST+DocBlock => wsdl_like_file then I could take the wsdl_like_file and produce my classes to access your service. I wouldn't need to care about the protocol. In fact, using the Zend framework as I've suggested, I've not written a single line of XML parsing, or header extraction or anything. Just talked to some local classes as if there was no distance between the client and the server. Client_class extends base_soap_client_class <=> base_soap_server_class extended by Server_Class SOAP has it's faults, but it is a standard of sorts and that certainly helps third parties know they are writing to a standard. But SOAP has more overhead admittedly and in some cases it may not be ideal.. -- ----- Richard Quadling "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
