+I found that the problem is in the SoapReader.
+When a type of array is deserialized, the 
+function 'DeserializeArray' is invoked.
+This function is wrongly trying to parse the type name, in order to 
+find the number of dimensions.
+When the type is not jagged array, but an array of arrays like:
+int[][], it fails.
+The previous attachment is a possible solution.
