Where can I specify what method to use instead of either a global

or a method of the server class? How do you create a soap server with method names that are reserved words in php? Jan.

Ok, the current cvs now has function aliases, you can see an example of it in example/example_server.php. Aliases work with either class methods or functions.

That looks pretty interesting and is a great step towards dynamically created SOAP servers. Is there any way to either pass the original (soap) method name as a parameter to this aliased function/method or to get the method's name by a method or property from the server class? This would allow us to define a method dispatcher that can handle an arbitrary set of methods/functions. If I currently want to create a dynamic server that has its methods defined at runtime, I need to create a proxy class with a huge eval() call. That works but isn't very elegant. Jan.

My head's not in the right spot to think about this right now (not enough coffee yet), but it sounds like you should be using overload with the __call method. But I could add a soap overload feature which would: a. if the object has the method, use it b. if not, see if the object has __soapcall and use it. c. otherwise fault Is this roughly what you are looking for?
