Hi M, Passing by-value is what the SCA specifications (see http://osoa.org/display/Main/Service+Component+Architecture+Specifications) say should be the calling semantics for remote services. SCA in PHP treats all services as remote and assumes local by-reference calls will just be done using the normal features of PHP.
Passing by-value is a good practice for remote service calls because it helps with decoupling the two environments by not relying on sharing instance data. I'm afraid I don't fully understand the scenario you're describing. Would it be possible for you to post an example WSDL and a description of what you think needs to be supported? Regards, Graham.
