  ****************************************************************
  When the root element of the SOAP message is an array and the
  type for it still refer to an array type, he type processor
  wrongly considers the array dimension as one instead of two.
  Therefore, a type mismatch happens when trying to map the
  value to the correct type.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.0.1.3 that ensures the array
  of array can be processed correctly.
