* NOTE: the problem is that service handlers are not programmed to understand the extra attributes
* NOTE: the other problem is that service import/export definitions are not programmed as well
* NOTE: so the idea will have to stay here until I can dedicate time to implementing those.
*
* NOTE: this method is no longer working because I broke the $object variable and I'm not sure what to replace it with
