7 The <classname>Zend_Server</classname> family of classes provides functionality
8 for the various server classes, including
9 <classname>Zend_XmlRpc_Server</classname>, <classname>Zend_Rest_Server</classname>,
10 <classname>Zend_Json_Server</classname> and <classname>Zend_Soap_Wsdl</classname>.
11 <classname>Zend_Server_Interface</classname> provides an interface that mimics
12 <acronym>PHP</acronym> 5's <classname>SoapServer</classname> class; all server classes
13 should implement this interface in order to provide a standard server
14 <acronym>API</acronym>.
18 The <classname>Zend_Server_Reflection</classname> tree provides a standard
19 mechanism for performing function and class introspection for use as
20 callbacks with the server classes, and provides data suitable for use
21 with <classname>Zend_Server_Interface</classname>'s <methodname>getFunctions()</methodname>
22 and <methodname>loadFunctions()</methodname> methods.
