[Exist-open] XMLRPC sending an array in PHP, arriving as object

[Éamonn K. <eam...@so...>]

I have abstracted out the functionality of the XML_RPC2 client to behave in
a similar manner to adodb, so that I can prepareQuery, bindVariables,
execute and getNextResult or getAllResults, as needed.

When I bind an associative array, it is received by the XMLRPC server on
eXists's end as an object. I suspect this is expected behaviour, as turning
it into a POJO is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

Is there a way to tell the XMLRPC listener that a field being sent is a map
and have it be treated as such or should I just adopt a different approach
in my query construction?

Cheers,
Éamonn
