Problem with WS method returning an array of complex type

Hi,

I developped a WS with IBM tools and used the wsdl in Visual Studio
2003 to add a Web Reference in my client.

I have no problems with methods returning a simple type (ex. boolean)
or complexType (ex. AccountInfo (a class defined by myself)).

Though I got en empty object, when I am calling a method returning an
array of complex type (AccountInfo). I checked the SOAP message and
it contains all the informations.

In the wsdl the array is defined by an unbouned element:
<complexType name="AccountInfo">
<sequence>
<element name="number" type="xsd:long"/>
<element name="owner" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string"/>
<element name="label" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string"/>
<element name="rubrique" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string"/>
<element name="balance" type="xsd:long"/>
<element name="currencyIso" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string"/>
<element name="availableAmount"
type="xsd:long"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
<element name="getAccountsResponse">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element maxOccurs="unbounded"
name="getAccountsReturn" type="impl:AccountInfo"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>

Did someone return successfully an array (of simple or complex) type
in a ws method call?

What does the response look like on the wire? Can you change the web service
to doc/literal? I've seen some rpc/encoded web services written so that the
arrays are returned naked - instead of this:
<foos>
<foo/>
<foo/>
<foo/>
</foos>

You get:
<foo/>
<foo/>
<foo/>
