OK, this is a small example:
===
The MySQL Dump of the database:
/*Table structure for table `MenuItemsTesting` */
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `MenuItemsTesting`;
CREATE TABLE `MenuItemsTesting` (
`ID` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`ItemText` varchar(50) character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT
NULL,
`IsTopMenu` tinyint(1) default NULL,
`HasSubMenu` tinyint(1) default NULL,
`Link` varchar(255) character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci default
NULL,
`ParentMenuID` int(10) unsigned default NULL,
`TopMenuOrder` int(10) unsigned default NULL,
UNIQUE KEY `ID` (`ID`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=120 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
/*Data for the table `MenuItemsTesting` */
insert into
`MenuItemsTesting`(`ID`,`ItemText`,`IsTopMenu`,`HasSubMenu`,`Link`,`Pare\
ntMenuID`,`TopMenuOrder`) values (1,'Menu 1',1,0,'',0,1),(2,'Menu 1 Item
1',0,0,'',1,1),(3,'Menu 1 Item 2',0,0,'',1,2),(4,'Menu

On the PHP server I have the following setup for WebORB:
===
/WebORB/Services/WeborbTesting/VOs/Menu.php:
?php

public $ID;
public $label;
public $ParentMenuID;
public $children;
function __construct()
{
$this-label = ;
$this-ParentMenuID = null;
$this-children = array();
}
}
?
===
/WebORB/Services/WeborbTesting/VOs/MenuItem.php:
?php
class MenuItem
{
public $ID;
public $label;
public $Link;
public $ParentMenuID;
function __construct()
{
$this-label = ;
$this-Link = ;
$this-ParentMenuID = null;
}
}
