WSDL / SOAP function namespaces

Hi - apologies in advance if this is the wrong list for the following
php/soap related question; would appreciate a pointer to the right
group.

The quick way to phrase my question is - is the SOAP function
namespace flattened?

In other words, I have a single WSDL file with something like the
following:

show/hide quoted text

show/hide quoted text

The point is that the namespaces for each are different, but the
function names (getFoo, getBar) are the same. Is this allowed? On
the client and server side, I have getFoo/getBar inside their
respective ClassA / ClassB namespaces, but the output from
__getFunctions on the client side is simply:

array(4) {
show/hide quoted text
string(33) "record_t getFoo(record_t $params)"
show/hide quoted text
string(33) "struct_t getBar(struct_t $params)"
show/hide quoted text
string(38) "record_t getFoo(record_t $params)"
show/hide quoted text
string(38) "struct_t getBar(struct_t $params)"
}

which means the correct function references are being loaded, but it
looks like the classnames (the first getFoo / getBar are in class
ClassA, the second pair in class ClassB) are not retained. I seem to
have no way to tell the SoapClient to call ClassB::getFoo.

I would appreciate any pointers on this; worst-case scenario I have to
assume a flat namespace and have unique function names for everything,
which is not ideal ...

tia,
matt
