Default POST Servlet writes single-value property even though node type 
mandates multi-value.

                 Key: SLING-522
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-522
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Servlets Post
    Affects Versions: 2.0.1
            Reporter: Julian Sedding
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.1.0


If a JCR node-type defines a multi-value property (e.g. String[]) and only a 
single value for this property is posted, the property will become single-value 
(e.g String). The POST Servlet should check, if the property is multi-value and 
respect that. Otherwise, any code reading the property value would need to 
check, whether it is multi-value or not and handle both cases.

It might even be beneficial to force a multi-value property, if there is no 
node-type that defines it. This would provide for better control of 
unstructured data.
