[wsf-c-dev][WSF-PHP]Soap backward compatibility in server side

[nandika]

Hi all,
To support functions that accept parameters different from WSMessage, we 
should have a way of specifying the type of the function
when creating the WSService object.
How about having the following API for doing so.

We will add a new associative array "opParams" which will be a mapping 
of function name to function type.
The function type will be one of the following constants. WSMESSAGE |  MIXED

eg.

function addFunction($a,$b){
    // implementation
}

function echoFunction($msg){
    // this argument is a WSMessage
}

$operations = array("add"=>"addFunction", "echoString"=>"echoFunction");
$op_params = array("addFunction"=>"MIXED","echoFunction"=>"WSMESSAGE");

$svc = new WSService(array("operations"=>$operations, 
"opParams"=>$op_params));

Thanks
Nandika
