How to deal with complex SOAP responses when calling web services ???

Question

Hi all,
I have an issue when calling a web service that returns a complex
SOAP response message. With simple responses (e. g. array of strings) it
worked.
I created the PDF as an Interactive form with Livecycle Designer 8.2.
The Javascript looks like this:
var cURL = "http://blabla";
var cTestString = "too";
SOAP.wireDump=true;
var response = SOAP.request(
     cURL: cURL,
     oRequest: {
          "http://blabla.com/:complete" : {
          arg0: cTestString
          cAction: "http://bla.com:50000/"
var resp = response["http://blabla.com:serviceResponse"];
console.println("lenght:"+resp.length);
var myns = "http://blabla.com/namespace";
for (var nItem in resp.return)
  console.println("" + nItem + " " + resp.return[nItem] );
     for (var ConceptView in resp.return[nItem])
       console.println("  "+resp.return[nItem].length);
       console.println("  "+ConceptView+" "+resp.return[nItem][ConceptView] );
       if (ConceptView == myns + ":Response")
          for (var item2 in resp.return[nItem][ConceptView]){
              console.println("    "+item2+" "+resp.return[nItem][ConceptView][item2] );
I call the service and when I realized that I do not find out the type of the object returned, I used the nested for-in-loops to iterate through it. But it seems that there is just one item in the Javascript object returned, although the SOAP message clearly shows that there are more than one item.
Can you help me?
One key problem when analyzing this issue is that I do not know at all
the Javascript type of response. We suspected it might be an array, but it is not
because the method .length returns "undefined". It would already be
helpful to know at least the type of this object and to know callable
methods and so on ...
Best regards

P.S. As mentioned I used Livecycle Designer 8.2 and displayed and
debugged the document using Acrobat 9.

Christoph,
Firstly LiveCycle Designer 8.2 is still not supported to develop forms as per my knowledge. The latest version compatible for SAP Interactive Forms is ALD 8.0.
There is a difference between Acrobat based forms and LiveCycle forms and based on your coding it looks to me  that you are trying to create a LiveCycle based form with coding of Acrobat which is not supported in LiveCycle Desginer, which is why you may be getting the error.
I hope that does not confuse you, so may check this [link|http://www.acrobatusers.com/articles/2006/08/designer_or_forms/index.php] for some clear information on what point I was trying to make.
