When the Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover uses the strategy Zend_Soap_Wsdl_Strategy_ArrayOfTypeSequence, bidirectional associations between classes cause infinite recursion.

Consider the following example:

class AuthorTO {
    /**
     * @var integer
    */
    public $id;
    /**
     * @var string
     */
    public $name;
    /**
     * @var AuthorsListItemTO[]
     */
    public $authorsListItemList;
}

class AuthorsListItemTO {
    /**
     * @var integer
     */
    public $id;
    /**
     * @var AuthorTO
     */
    public $author;
    /**
     * @var string
     */
     public $book;
}

class BooksManagementFacadeBean {
    /**
     * 
     * @param integer $id 
     * @return AuthorTO
     */
    public function getAuthorByID($id) {
        $service = new BooksService();
        $result = $service->getAuthorByID($id);
        
        return $result;
    }
}

$autodiscover = new Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover('Zend_Soap_Wsdl_Strategy_ArrayOfTypeSequence');
$autodiscover->setBindingStyle(array('style' => 'document'));
$autodiscover->setOperationBodyStyle(
    array('use' => 'literal',
    'namespace' => 'http://framework.zend.com')
);
$autodiscover->setClass('BooksManagementFacadeBean');
$autodiscover->handle();

The problem is caused by the association "Author has many AuthorsListItem", "AuthorsListItem has an Author". Changing "@var AuthorTO" to "@var string" in the class AuthorsListItemTO solves the problem.
