        The <classname>Zend_Server</classname> family of classes provides functionality
        for the various server classes, including
        <classname>Zend_XmlRpc_Server</classname>, <classname>Zend_Rest_Server</classname>,
        <classname>Zend_Json_Server</classname> and <classname>Zend_Soap_Wsdl</classname>.
        <classname>Zend_Server_Interface</classname> provides an interface that mimics
        <acronym>PHP</acronym> 5's <classname>SoapServer</classname> class; all server classes
        should implement this interface in order to provide a standard server
        <acronym>API</acronym>.
    </para>

    <para>
        The <classname>Zend_Server_Reflection</classname> tree provides a standard
        mechanism for performing function and class introspection for use as
        callbacks with the server classes, and provides data suitable for use
        with <classname>Zend_Server_Interface</classname>'s <methodname>getFunctions()</methodname>
        and <methodname>loadFunctions()</methodname> methods.
