Can I redirect/alias one web service call to another?

Question

I've written a simple PHP nusoap web service for an application and wish to change the name of one of the actions so that it makes more sense. However there is a CD-ROM based application in the wild using this web service and this action and so I need to redirect or alias any incoming requests to the new action... any idea how I might go about doing this?

Answer 1

I'm assuming by action you mean a function, why not something as simple as.

function oldName($a, $b)
{
    return newName($a, $b);
}

function newName($a, $b)
{
    // do something
    return $a + $b;
}

Seems like a quick and easy solution.
