DynamicClient fails to send an array of String
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: CXF-3501
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3501
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.4
         Environment: JaxWsDynamicClientFactory and Tomcat 6.
            Reporter: Martin Thurau


I ran into some trouble using {{JaxWsDynamicClientFactory}} to access a SOAP 
service which signature is unknown a compile time and is passed to my code, 
from an external part at runtime. Following is a minimal example to reproduce 
the problem.

The service defines the following operation:

@WebMethod(operationName="init")
        public void initValueNotNull(
                           @WebParam(name="values")String[] values);

I generate a SOAP service and a corresponding WSDL from this by using 
{{org.apache.cxf.tools.java2ws.JavaToWS}}. Then I generate a WAR file and 
deploy this to tomcat.

Now I want to use {{JaxWsDynamicClientFactory}} to access this service:
  {{JaxWsDynamicClientFactory dcf = JaxWsDynamicClientFactory.newInstance();}}
  {{Client client = dcf.createClient(new 
URL("http://localhost:8080/dserv/ArrayService?wsdl";));}}

  {{String[] values = new String[] { "foobar", "something" };}}
        
  {{client.invoke("init", values);}}

In the implementation of the service I have the following code:
    @Override
    public void initValueNotNull(String[] values) {
        System.out.println("Got values: " + Arrays.asList(values));
    }


I would expect, that the two strings from the client get ouputted. Instead I 
simple see {{Got values: []}}.

If I look at the SOAP-message that get exchanged, I see the this:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>
<soap:Body>
<ns1:init xmlns:ns1="de.fhl.dserv.ws">
<values xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; 
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xsi:type="xs:string">foobar</values>
</ns1:init>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

So somewhere and somehow the array of strings get transformed in a single 
string (which happens to be the first element of the original array).

I have created a demo project and uploaded it to 
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/338429/CXF_Bug.zip
Included is a ant file to compile and build the service using {{ant build}} and 
execute the client using {{ant client}}
