How to send raw xml to SOAP server using Zend_Soap_Client? - zend-framework

Question

I'm traying to send a raw request to a SOAP server. The only way I found to do this is creating a redundant Zend_Soap_Client_Common in order to invoke _dorequest. Is really that necessary? Is there any other way to send raw xml to the server?
Here's the code:
$client = new Zend_Soap_Client('http://212.170.239.71/appservices/ws/FrontendService?wsdl',
array(
'soap_version'=>SOAP_1_1
,'encoding' => 'UTF-8'
,'compression' => SOAP_COMPRESSION_ACCEPT | SOAP_COMPRESSION_DEFLATE
,'location'=>'http://212.170.239.71/appservices/ws/FrontendService'
)
);
$location = 'http://212.170.239.71/appservices/ws/FrontendService';
$request = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Body>

</OccupancyList>

</hb:getHotelValuedAvail>

</soapenv:Envelope>';
$clientCommon = new Zend_Soap_Client_Common($client, 'http://212.170.239.71/appservices/ws/FrontendService?wsdl',
array(
'soap_version'=>SOAP_1_1
,'encoding' => 'UTF-8'
,'compression' => SOAP_COMPRESSION_ACCEPT | SOAP_COMPRESSION_DEFLATE
,'location'=>'http://212.170.239.71/appservices/ws/FrontendService'
));
$response = $client->_doRequest($clientCommon, $request, $location, 'getHotelValuedAvail', SOAP_1_1);
// With these two lines I've managed the call using "native" SoapClient
//$client = new SoapClient("http://212.170.239.71/appservices/ws/FrontendService?wsdl", array('trace'=>1));
//$response = $client->__doRequest($request, $location, 'getHotelValuedAvail', SOAP_1_1);
Thanks in advance.
