Description

If a JCR node-type defines a multi-value property (e.g. String[]) and only a single value for this property is posted, the property will become single-value (e.g String). The POST Servlet should check, if the property is multi-value and respect that. Otherwise, any code reading the property value would need to check, whether it is multi-value or not and handle both cases.

It might even be beneficial to force a multi-value property, if there is no node-type that defines it. This would provide for better control of unstructured data.
