Error description

• Using Rational Application Developer V7.0.0.5
  Array of records in business process message object is not handl
  ed properly when dragging it from Page data view to Page designe
  r editor.
  Step to reproduce:
  1) Create a business process in WebSphere Integration Developer
  which returns an object foo that has a field bar of an array of
  business objects
  2) Create a JSR168 Faces Portlet project with Business Process I
  ntegration (Handle process) enabled.
  3) Open the .jsp page, in view Page data, click on Services ? Bu
  siness Process Message.
  4). In the Message Schema file dialog, select Human task, click
  on Browse and select the Interface wsdl file from your business
  process
  5) Click on Next and then choose the response message. Click on
  Finish
  Result:
  The correct structure of the object foo will be displayed in Pag
  e data view below Services.
  6) Drag and drop the object foo from Page Data view onto the JSP
  .
  7) A Configure data controls dialog appears in which there is a
  field called 'foo.bar'. Click on Next close to this field in the
   same dialog.
  Result:
  The dialog shows all fields under the bar object in the correct
  way
  8) Click on Finish and again on Finish
  Result:
  The generated .jsp code is not correct. The fields under the 'ba
  r' object are ignored although it appears under the message obje
  ct in Page data view
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• If an XSD contained an array type it was not being
  recognized by the tooling, so the User Interface generator
  was treated type as a normal output field.
  

Problem conclusion

• Added a special check to determine if the field is an array,
  so that we correctly generate a User Interface table.
