JR61628: DOC - LIST IN SIMPLE TYPE IS NOT SUPPORTED AND IS UNDOCUMENTED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In "Troubleshooting XML schema messages for web service
  integrations"
  (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFPJS_8.6.0/com.ib
  m.wbpm.wle.editor.doc/topics/troubleshooting_xml4webservice_copy
  .html)
  the following information about the unsupported xsd:list type is
  missing:
  
  For the external service discovery of a WSDL it is not supported
  if the WSDL contains a simple type with a list element, as in
  the following example:
  
  <xsd:element name="StringArray" type="tns:StringArray"/>
    <xsd:simpleType name="StringArray">
      <xsd:list itemType="xsd:string"/>
  </xsd:simpleType>
  
  If you try to discover such a WSDL file to create an external
  service that contains such an element you get the following
  error:
  
  CWTBG0019E: Unexpected exception during execution.
  Exception information: 'Unhandled simple type: StringArray. A
  list type is not supported.'
  
  To describe a list, use the complex type instead and set the
  minOccurs and maxOccurs attributes. For the previous example,
  this looks lik:
  
  <xsd:complexType name="StringArray">
     <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="strings"
  type="xsd:string" maxOccurs="unbounded">
        </xsd:element>
     </xsd:sequence>
  </xsd:complexType>
