<p>On the server side an empty array of arguments arrives.</p>
<p>When calling the service like this:</p>
<div class="codeblock">
<pre><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0000BB"><?php<br> </span><span style="color: #007700">try { <br> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$response </span><span style="color: #007700">= </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$client</span><span style="color: #007700">-></span><span style="color: #0000BB">$operation</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$arguments</span><span style="color: #007700">);<br> return </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$response</span><span style="color: #007700">;<br> }<br> catch (</span><span style="color: #0000BB">SoapFault $e</span><span style="color: #007700">) {<br> throw new </span><span style="color: #0000BB">WSClientException</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'Error invoking the SOAP service %name, operation %operation: %error'</span><span style="color: #007700">, array(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'%name' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$this</span><span style="color: #007700">-></span><span style="color: #0000BB">service</span><span style="color: #007700">-></span><span style="color: #0000BB">label</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'%operation' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$operation</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'%error' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$e</span><span style="color: #007700">-></span><span style="color: #0000BB">getMessage</span><span style="color: #007700">()));<br> }<br></span><span style="color: #0000BB">?></span></span></pre></div>
<p>It works, the arguments are arriving correctly.</p>
<p>I know the operation is valid in both cases, I can mog entry in both functions mapped by services module. However only in the latter case the arguments effectivly arrive. I dont know why this doesnt work but changing it like demonstrated solves the problem. </p>
<p>Maybe as maintainer of this module you have a clue... Thanks in advance.</p>
