The URL I gave has evidently been having some issues.  It works for me, =

but whatever.  I quote what I think is the relevant snippet below; I can =

pass along the whole file if it helps (it's about 250K).

The issue seems to be that they violate recommendation "R2304" by using =

overloaded operators, but it's evidently still legal WSDL 1.1 (ok, they =

use the same name for input and output parameters; I edited my local =

copy to address that and it didn't help)

     http://ws-i.org/profiles/BasicProfile-1.2-2010-11-09.html#R2304

Folks around the internet basically just advise variations on "don't =

overload functions".  The workaround I've come up with it to further =

edit the WSDL myself to change the function names; I don't think that =

will affect the SOAP calls that are actually created, because there are =

different soapAction values for each case.  That's a lot of work for me =

to screw up, so I'd prefer a different solution.

Any advice is appreciated, but mostly I'm just about ready to accept =

"no" as an answer and try to fix the WSDL.
