has anyone use a SoapClient within a SoapServer implementation in php5?

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has had this same problem and found a workaround? I am trying to use a SOAP client within a SOAP server and it caused the SOAP server to fail to respond properly to its clients with a SoapFault when a problem arose. It works fine if there is no error to return to the client. so a diagram might help... [SOAP Client A] | | [SOAP Server A] +[SOAP Client B] ---> [SOAP Server B] +[return SoapFault] ...looks like we got no XML document... The response (SoapFault) to the SOAP Client A looks like it is empty. I'm wondering if the SoapFault mechanism is corrupted by the SoapClient initialization. I've tested the idea of faking a response from the SOAP Server B, i.e. don't create a SOAP Client B, and the returning SoapFault works as expected. tested on these: PHP 5.1.2 IIS 6 PHP 5.1.1 Apache 2
