Hi Peter, Right now ext/soap hasn't workaround for this problem. I'll look and may be will create it later. Note that some other SOAP implementations have the same interopability issue. Look into google. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=GGLD%2CGGLD%3A2005-13%2CGGLD%3Aen&q=% 2B%22No+Deserializer+found+to+deserialize+a%22+%2Barray&lr= May be you will find a way to fix the server itself. Thanks.
