Raghu Thanks! That worked it returned me 4 (the length of the array with all the elements).
However, this only addresses part of the problem. I would like to reserve a array with a fixed size like what was done with my previous request example with: arrayType="xsd:string[4]" For instance, i want the array to reserve 4 elements for the array and not more. How i can do that?
