php.MVC Web application framework does Web Services

KookaKart for php.MVC implements Web Services.

KookaKart for php.MVC can now call methods on a remote Web host as a
RPC (Remote Procedure Call). The use of class methods in this manner
reduces the need to distribute and maintain critical class methods on
many Web servers. All critical code can be made available from one
server, thus increasing security and control of the services offered.

The CartAction class has been extended to provide client-side and a
server-side classes to intercept and redirect the HTTP requests to
RPC methods.
This release provides two methods that implement RPC:

1) The addCartItem method of the client-side class WSCCartAction intercepts
and redirects users "Add Item" requests to the corresponding method of
the server-side WSSCartAction class. The server-side method returns a
serialised data packet to the client method.

2) The updateCart method operates in a similar to the addCartItem method
by intercepting and redirecting users "Recalculate" requests.

Please note:
i) The reference to "client-side" above refers to a client server and not
to an end users machine or browser.

ii) KookaKart is a usage case study for the php.MVC Web application framework
and is not a production ready application.

Other Features:
php.MVC applications can now be installed outside of the main phpmvc
directory tree and linked to the main php.MVC library to provide more
flexible installation and maintenance.
