Let's take a look at the line in red in the policy you provided. In you example, you have getByteArray() method that returns a byte[] return type. Assume I add another method to the anchor class with the same name but renturns a byte type. How do you write a SPL policy to distinguish between these two?

This is strictly a problem with the definition of the method's return type as indicated in the Java Class object. Somehow that definition is not being picked up as an array and instead just as a single byte. It _is_ getting the formal parameter definition correct (i.e. a byte[]).
