You must have got me wrong. I already released a SOAP server base class that lets implement SOAP services in PHP just by subclassing it and implementing the specific methods that provide your Web services without having to worry with the complications of SOAP protocol. This class was written in MetaL but the PHP version generated by MetaL compiler was made available here last year: http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/browse.html/package/251 This class does not generate a WSDL definition but it was suficient to write this SOAP interface to ezmlm. I needed this for a project where I needed a programatic way to remotely count how many subscribers there are in a list, subscribe, unsubscribe and verify if a subscriber is already subscribed. These classes were also written in MetaL but the PHP version is available here: http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/browse.html/package/177 As you may see here, I have been sharing a lot: http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/browse.html/top/ http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/browse.html/author/1 Half of the questions I have been sharing here were written in MetaL, despite that is irrelevant for people that been using them because they only see PHP code and HTML documentation (documentation was automatically generated from MetaL source). As for MetaL itself, it is not yet ready for release because I am still working on unexpected challenges to make it fit Java limitations, but the goal is to release it as an Open Source project after I finish make the proof of concept that is generating programs from MetaL source code into several languages (PHP, Java and Perl) and demonstrate that they work seeminglessly. After 2 years and a half of development that is about to happen in a matter of a few weeks. Meanwhile I already presented MetaL in O'Reilly Open Source Conference 2001 in San Diego and PHP Conference 2001 in Frankfurt.
