What has been done in PHP DS is that, you can create a PHP class 
inherited form WSService and pass the options as an associative array. 
The associative array would have provition to provide all the info that 
you would get in a DBS file.

The original idea that I had when proposing the data services was 
because, many people use databases with PHP and the fact that those 
databases could be exposed as services would expand the way PHP apps 
would be used. As an example, Drupal uses a database for config, as well 
as for data.
Also, to some part, Java community is distinct form PHP community. So 
having a PHP equivalent Java DS would propagate the privileges that Java 
people get fom DS to PHP community.

This is yet to be done. If Java has a benchmark, same could be 
implemented with PHP.

I am not sure. Sumedha?

Nop. It is still in SOAP stage.
Bit on REST. Axis2/C made REST more RESTful with last release (PUT, 
DELETE and RESTful URL mappings added). That is yet to be integrated 
into PHP. Better to look into REST only after doing that REST 
integration to PHP.
