Description

Problem
=======
Assume that we have a 'nillable' DataType_Array that has been created from a WSDL as follows:-

DataType_Array.hpp
------------------
class DataType;

typedef struct DataType_ArrayTag
{
DataType * m_Array;
int m_Size;
} DataType_Array;

DataType.hpp
------------
class DataType
{
public:
xsd__int index;
xsd__string string;
};

In our implementation we have defined a variable array 'pDataType' of type DataType length 5.

Test.cpp
:
DataType * pDataType = new DataType[5];
:

Now, we want to populate indexes 2 and 3 with data, but leave the remaining array indexes (0, 1 and 4) empty (nill).

>>>>>Q1. How is this done?

NB: The serialised output should also look something like this...
<ns2:DataType>
<ns2:Item xsi:nil="true"/>
<ns2:Item>
<ns2:Item xsi:nil="true"/>
<ns2:Item>
<ns2:index>2</ns2:index>
<ns2:string>String index 2</ns2:string>
</ns2:Item>
<ns2:Item>
<ns2:index>3</ns2:index>
<ns2:string>String index 3</ns2:string>
</ns2:Item>
<ns2:Item xsi:nil="true"/>
<ns2:Item>
</ns2:DataType>

>>>>>Q2. How would the deserialiser cope?
