Handling cardinality upper than 1

Description

Consider an input named A, if the cardinality of A was set (through the maxOccurs value in the zcfg) to a value > 1 then the ZOO-Kernel should provide a specific array structure.

The idea is to provide the inputs as presente in the following:

{
 "A": {
   "name": "A",
   "value": ["<val1>","<val2>",...,"<valN>"],
   "mimeType": ["<mimeType1>","<mimeType2>",...,"<mimeTypeN>"],
   "isArray": "true"
 }
}

The specific "isArray" map will be automatically added by the ZOO-Kernel for inputs provided more than once in the request and getting a maxOccurs value set to a value upper than 1 in the ZCFG file.

For Python, Java and Javascript language wethe ZOO-Kernel shall be directly provide the data as an Array in the dictionnary, HasMap or Javascript Object representing the inputs.

For C language we may think of using json-c library to handle storage and access to the the inputs value.

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.
