RE: [PHP-DEV] Autoboxing in php 5.1

I think the right way to implement this is in a development tools. There is other data that needs to be gathered for creating a WSDL file such as URI, authentication (if required) etc. Andi At 12:54 PM 2/12/2005 +0100, David Kingma | jool.nl wrote:

-----Original Message----- Can't you use the reflection API to get the data? Not yet. My first feature request would be to add a getDocComment() to the ReflectionProperty class. You can generate a WSDL file using the reflection API but for the xml-schema part of the wsdl file you have to manually read the sourcecode and find the comment prepending a class property (tokenizer or regex) :( Regards, David At 11:19 PM 2/11/2005 +0100, Marcus Boerger wrote:

I think phpDoc is the solution because especially as we

into the web services realm we're going to need to document more complex signatures and this kind of syntax won't be

sufficient anyway.

We will need to have a way to document web services so

that we can

auto-generate WSDL files.

It would be nice to be able to (optionally) parse phpdoc comments with the reflection API (not only return the docComment, but also parse it into appropriate pieces), if this is going to be

the "official" way to do this.

Note: I'm not making any demands... just an idea/request.

Yes, that could be nice. Maybe someone will write an

ext/docComment.

Shouldn't be too hard.

We'd need a new engine function pointer, one that allows to

interpret

every docComment grabbed from the script :-) -- Best regards,
