        # performing the invocation on the web service object.
        #
        # The signatures for the method input parameters and return value can
        # by specified in +options+.
        #
        # A signature is an array of one or more parameter specifiers. 
        # A parameter specifier can be one of the following:
        #
        # * A symbol or string representing one of the Action Web Service base types.
        #   See ActionWebService::SignatureTypes for a canonical list of the base types.
        # * The Class object of the parameter type
        # * A single-element Array containing one of the two preceding items. This
        #   will cause Action Web Service to treat the parameter at that position
        #   as an array containing only values of the given type.
        # * A Hash containing as key the name of the parameter, and as value
        #   one of the three preceding items
        # 
        # If no method input parameter or method return value signatures are given,
        # the method is assumed to take no parameters and/or return no values of
        # interest, and any values that are received by the server will be
        # discarded and ignored.
        #
        # Valid options:
        # [<tt>:expects</tt>]             Signature for the method input parameters
        # [<tt>:returns</tt>]             Signature for the method return value
