        <para>
            <acronym>SOAP</acronym> functionality implemented within Zend Framework is intended to
            make all steps required for <acronym>SOAP</acronym> communications more simple.
        </para>

        <para>
            <acronym>SOAP</acronym> is language independent protocol. So it may be used not only for
            <acronym>PHP</acronym>-to-PHP communications.
        </para>

        <para>
            There are three configurations for <acronym>SOAP</acronym> applications where Zend
            Framework may be utilized:

            </orderedlist>
        </para>

        <para>
            We always have to know, which functionality is provided by <acronym>SOAP</acronym>
            server to operate with it. <ulink url="http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl">WSDL</ulink> is used
            to describe network service <acronym>API</acronym> in details.
        </para>

        <para>
            WSDL language is complex enough (see <ulink
                url="http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl">http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl</ulink>
            for the details). So it's difficult to prepare correct WSDL description.
        </para>

        <para>
            Another problem is synchronizing changes in network service <acronym>API</acronym> with
            already existing WSDL.
        </para>

        <para>
            Both these problem may be solved by WSDL autogeneration. A prerequisite for this is a
            <acronym>SOAP</acronym> server autodiscovery. It constructs object similar to object
            used in <acronym>SOAP</acronym> server application, extracts necessary information and
            generates correct WSDL using this information.
        </para>

        <para>
            There are two ways for using Zend Framework for <acronym>SOAP</acronym> server
            application:

            <itemizedlist>
                <listitem>
                    <para>Use separated class.</para>
                </listitem>

                <listitem>
                    <para>Use set of functions</para>
                </listitem>
            </itemizedlist>
        </para>

        <para>
            Both methods are supported by Zend Framework Autodiscovery functionality.
        </para>

        <para>
            The<classname>Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover</classname> class also supports datatypes mapping
            from <acronym>PHP</acronym> to <ulink
                url="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/">XSD types</ulink>.
        </para>

        <para>
            Here is an example of common usage of the autodiscovery functionality. The
            <methodname>handle()</methodname> function generates the WSDL file and posts it to the
            browser.
        </para>

        <programlisting language="php"><![CDATA[
class My_SoapServer_Class {
...
}

$autodiscover = new Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover();
$autodiscover->setClass('My_SoapServer_Class');
$autodiscover->handle();
]]></programlisting>

        <para>
            If you need access to the generated WSDL file either to save it to a file or as an
            <acronym>XML</acronym> string you can use the <methodname>dump($filename)</methodname>
            or <methodname>toXml()</methodname> functions the AutoDiscover class provides.
        </para>

                It is very important to note, that the class
                <classname>Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover</classname> does not act as a
                <acronym>SOAP</acronym> Server on its own. It only generates the WSDL and serves it
                to anyone accessing the url it is listening on.
            </para>

            <para>
                As the <acronym>SOAP</acronym> Endpoint Uri is uses the default
                <code>'http://' .$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']</code>, but this
                can be changed with the <methodname>setUri()</methodname> function or the
                Constructor parameter of <classname>Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover</classname> class. The
                endpoint has to provide a <classname>Zend_Soap_Server</classname> that listens to
                requests.

            WSDL offers different transport mechanisms and styles. This affects the
            <code>soap:binding</code> and <code>soap:body</code> tags within the Binding
            section of WSDL. Different clients have different requirements as to what options
            really work. Therefore you can set the styles before you call any <code>setClass</code>
            or <code>addFunction</code> method on the AutoDiscover class.
