A slightly better way to use webservices (especially if you expect
them to be consumed by non-WO applications) is to use primitive types.
For instance, if you need to return an array of Foo, the return type
for the service method would be Foo[].
We never expose our EO's via webservices, we usually wrap them in
POJOs which have very specific attributes for the service and non-
required attributes are not exposed.

Okay,
This workaround seems to work. On the server side I put my array
elements in as keys for a WOStringKeyMap and modified the client to
get the result array back out via allKeys().
This is a huge problem however as every service, including EOs that
contain arrays, would need methods changed/wrapped to return
WOStringKeyMap instead of arrays, and this of course would have to
be done for both the server and client applications.
Does anybody know if Apple has a prioritization on getting this fixed?
From what I can tell so far this basically makes WO5.4/5.4.1
unusable as a web services consumer (unless of course you never
need to use arrays).

It is apparently not fixed in 5.4.1.
A workaround would be to rewrite each Web service method that
returns NSArray to return WOStringKeyMap. Each Web service client
would then need to extract the array from the WOStringKeyMap. Not
ideal, but this should work.
