Now when you set maxOccurs value upper or equal to 2 in the ZCFG file then the corresponding service will receive an array for both mimeType/dataType/CRS depending on the inputs type and value as arrays. Note that other map which may be available (such as xlink:href, Reference, schema and uom are also available as for instance xlink:href_N where N is an integer in [minOccurs,maxOccurs]).

You can set maxOccurs=unbounded if the inputs identifier can occur without any limit.

Example: In the HelloPy.zcfg file set maxOccurs value to 2, then modify the test_service.py to get the following definition for HelloPy:

def HelloPy(conf,inputs,outputs):
        import sys
        print >> sys.stderr,str(inputs)
        outputs["Result"]["value"]="Hello "
        if isinstance(inputs["name"]["value"], (list, tuple)):
                for i in range(0,len(inputs["name"]["value"])):
                        if i+2<len(inputs["name"]["value"]):
                                outputs["Result"]["value"]+=str(inputs["name"]["value"][i])+", "
                        else:
                                if i+1<len(inputs["name"]["value"]):
                                        outputs["Result"]["value"]+=str(inputs["name"]["value"][i])+" and "
                                else:
                                        outputs["Result"]["value"]+=str(inputs["name"]["value"][i])
        else:
                outputs["Result"]["value"]+=inputs["name"]["value"]
        outputs["Result"]["value"]+=" from the ZOO-Project Python world !"
        return 3

When you set maxOccurs value to value upper or equal to 2 but the client provide only one value for this identifier then a simple string will be used rather than the array or string.
