Alright... I've been at this for a couple of days and could use a pointer or two. Pretty basic setup: I have a SOAP message and I want to map some of its fields to another SOAP message. I tried following the online example here:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSMKHH_9.0.0/com.ibm.scenarios.doc/mapping_scenario_03_createGDMapSOAPmessages/topics/scnmap_03_10_.htm

and it was helpful, but my example seems to be a little different because the input and output messages contain arrays (side note: even so, I see this in the cardinality tab which doesn't make sense to me, "The input and output paths of this transform do not contain indexable arraysâ€.)

I am mapping the SOAP_Domain_Msg to its equivalent on the other side of the map, and used the CAST function as suggested in the examples, so I've got the input and output fields visible at least. I've tried straight up moves from A to B, and I've tried using local maps for all the complex elements in the map, but in both cases things aren't quite lining up.

Things I'm seeing:

- Fields I "move" from A to B come out blank on the other side, but fields I set directly on B seem to come through just fine.

- Fields are not really in the correct order... not sure if that will cause problems though, I think it might because I'm getting exceptions like: "expected ABC here, but found io:XYZ instead", which leads to...

- Immediately following the map, I end up with some extras called things like io and io2, which seem to be mapped to request elements from B.xsd (edit: okay, I see what these are now, they correspond to the Namespaces tab in the mapping node properties.)

Can anyone offer a few pointers or tips to using the mapping tool and working with SOAP messages, specifically those containing arrays? V9 BTW.
