Java web service with php SOAP client

Question

Hi!
I have a Java web service with a procedure, which connects to a database:
public boolean connectDB(String driver,String host, String user, String password)
try {
Class.forName(driver);
connection =
DriverManager.getConnection
host
, user
, password
return true;
} catch (Exception v_exception) {
System.out.println("connectDB(): " + v_exception);
return false;
If I call it from a PHP client, it doesn't work but doesn't throw any exceptions on the server side.
The way I call it:
$client = new SoapClient
(<path>);
try
$conn=$client->connectDB();
catch (SoapFault $exception)
echo "\nexception: " .$exception;
On the client side, I have an exception, but it's not very detailed:
exception: Object id #2
I had a simple function, too, which returns a string:
public String getTestString()
return "test";
and if I call it from PHP, it's working...
What may be the problem?

Neither the simple "setter" methods work.. :(
The php client side:
$string="aladar";
$client->setSample($string);
$return = $client->getSample();
The server side:
public String sample;
public String getSample() {
return sample;
public void setSample(String a_sample) {
sample = a_sample;
Any ideas?
