Output-Messages using soapenc:Array deserialize to arrays with null elements
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: AXIS-2485
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2485
     Project: Apache Axis
        Type: Bug

  Components: Serialization/Deserialization  
    Versions: 1.3, 1.4    
    Reporter: Thomas Jacob


When using an output message with one parameter, whose type is a complex type 
using soapenc:Array, e.g.
        <complexType name="ProductArray">
                <complexContent>
                        <restriction base="soapenc:Array">
                                <attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType" 
wsdl:arrayType="product:Product[]"/>
                        </restriction>
                </complexContent>
        </complexType>
The response SOAP envelope is decoded incorrectly. First, it is decoded into an 
array of arrays, for example if the original response contains 3 elements, it 
is decoded into an array of 3 elements, each element being an array of 1 
element, containing the actual element (Product in this case).
The mapper to Java types does not understand the inner arrays correctly, and 
transforms them into nulls.
So eventually, the caller receives an array with 3 nulls.

Using a complex type with a sequence of on element, set to 
maxOccurs="unbounded" works well, e.g.
        <complexType name="ProductArray">
                <sequence>
                        <element name="elements" type="product:Product" 
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
                </sequence>
        </complexType>

Also, the complex type with soapenc:Array works fine for input messages, i.e. 
method parameters.
Only soapenc:Array in the output does not work.

The bug occurs in versions 1.3 and 1.4 of Axis. I don't know whether it also 
occurs in earlier versions.
