RE: [SOAP] Re: Java/Oracle server, PHP 5.1.2 client, array of complexTypes, Deserializer error

H Peter, This is well known issue, but not a php/soap bug. The problem that some SOAP implementations don't confirm to SOAP specification and don't accept types derived from array. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-20000508/#_Toc478383522 "SOAP arrays are defined as having a type of "SOAP-ENC:Array" or A TYPE DERIVED THERE FROM." Thanks.
