Re: Class based method overloading

Firstly, the getSupSet1 in the second operation of the WSDL is a typo. It should read getSupSet for overloading to work... The I/O specification is correct though. And secondly, you are completely right; I have no way of changing the WSDL. I am re-implementing a larger set of legacy interfaces (10 in all) and am mapping them onto a single backend. This is a what you would call a cross-my-fingers-and-hope-it-still-works-for-all project where it is simply impossible to reimplement all bugs. Still, the benefit in performance and maintainability is so high that it is worth it. > PHP5 does not support overloading functions.

(getSupSet, getSupSet1 etc) The solution I have now, is to create a hacked WSDL which renames the functions from xx, xx, xx to xx1, xx2, xx3, etc. Then I "patch" the HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA before I create my server class based on the detected arguments to the call. I still return the original WSDL on request, but internally use the patched one. This is quite a dirty hack, but it works. I was just hoping for a more clean solution. For PHP to support overloading, I suppose there must be a "methodmap" (similar to the classmap) which is used to remap the WSDL operation/input/output pair to a class-function. -- Greetings Bertho (disclaimers are disclaimed)
