JR44582: WEB SERVICE INTEGRATIONS WITH ARRAY INPUT PARAMETERS MIGHT NO BE SERIALIZED CORRECTLY IN THE OUTBOUND SOAP REQUEST

Version 7.5.1 Fix Pack 2 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• This scenario involves a  Web Service Integration
  based on a WSDL which contains an Array as an input parameter.
  When
  such a web service is invoked, during serialization of the
  outbound SOAP
  request, the array input parameter's values will not be
  serialized.
  Instead, an empty element will be serialized for the array.
  This is
  true even if the array input parameter has been previously
  initialized
  with valid values.

  Array as an input parameter, is invoked, during serialization
  of the outbound SOAP request, the array input parameter's
