/**
 * This is the main PHP file that process the HTTP parameters, 
 * performs the basic db operations (FIND, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) 
 * and then serialize the response in an XML format.
 * 
 * XmlSerializer uses a PEAR xml parser to generate an xml response. 
 * this takes a php array and generates an xml according to the following rules:
 * - the root tag name is called "response"
 * - if the current value is a hash, generate a tagname with the key value, recurse inside
 * - if the current value is an array, generated tags with the default value "row"
 * for example, we have the following array: 
 * 
 * $arr = array(
 * 	"data" => array(
 * 		array("id_pol" => 1, "name_pol" => "name 1"), 
 * 		array("id_pol" => 2, "name_pol" => "name 2") 
 * 	), 
 * 	"metadata" => array(
 * 		"pageNum" => 1, 
 * 		"totalRows" => 345
 * 	)
 * 	
 * )
 * 
 * we will get an xml of the following form
 * 
 * <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
 * <response>
 *   <data>
 *     <row>
 *       <id_pol>1</id_pol>
 *       <name_pol>name 1</name_pol>
 *     </row>
 *     <row>
 *       <id_pol>2</id_pol>
 *       <name_pol>name 2</name_pol>
 *     </row>
 *   </data>
 *   <metadata>
 *     <totalRows>345</totalRows>
 *     <pageNum>1</pageNum>
 *   </metadata>
 * </response>
 *
 * Please notice that the generated server side code does not have any 
 * specific authentication mechanism in place.
