Error description

• When you call a SCA export with openSCA client, you might
  receive a NullPointerException on SCA code while the message
  is being processed if the WSDL interface contains none-wrapper
  array (maxOccurs="unbounded") in the request root element and
  more than one item is sent for the array. Furthermore, in the
  FFDC log, you might find an exception stack that is similar to
  the following exception stack in the FFDC log:
  
  Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
