I am creating a job which accepts multiple rows (variable --> candidate inforamtion for MATCH) and the output is expected to be the list of candidates which cross a certain MATCH cutoff (hence output is also going to be variable number of rows).

I am trying to understand how this job can be published as a service.

FYI: I have a JAVA app thats going to use this service..

IS there a concept of arrays here to be used and if so .. HOW ????

Any guidance / suggestion would be really helpful here...

Your Java developer will have to know how to use Axis (or other equivalent SOAP engine) to generate arrays for SOAP input, and/or to process an array that is returned.

This is a more advanced concept in SOAP client development, althogh most IDE's handle it just fine these days.

In the meantime, for your purposes, get yourself a copy of SOAPui, or Actional's SOAP testing tool (search the web, you'll find them easily)...both support arrays for testing in a nice gui.

Keep in mind that during deployment you have to select that you want to group your argument and support an array -- carefully check the input and output tabs at the bottom of the Operation dialog.
