PayLoad Extension OIM 11.1.1.5.0 + BP03

Question

Hi All,
I have an OIM 11g environment in place which uses SOA for processing requests. By default, when a request is routed to SOA by OIM, some data is sent in the payload by OIM. I want to add some additional data in the payload using Java APIs to prevent logging in OIM from bpel process and then get required data. This code will reside in OIM server and will intercept the payload before it is sent to SOA and add additional attributes to it.
I have followed following blog post http://bbagaria.blogspot.in/2011/08/how-to-extend-payload-from-oim-to-soa.html to get the details. Here, OtherDetails node has been used to add additional data in the payload.
Question: There is only one data element available in this node which can hold only one additional value. How can I add additional data elements here to pass more data in the payload? What other options are available to achieve this requirement?
Thnx

You can add multiple OtherDetails which will convert to an array in SOA payload.
OtherDetails otherDetails = process.getOtherDetails();
List<Detailtype> detailtypesList = otherDetails.getDataElement();
Detailtype detailtype1 = new Detailtype();
detailtype1.setName("name1");
detailtype1.setValue("value1")
detailtypesList.add(detailtype1);
Detailtype detailtype2 = new Detailtype();
detailtype2.setName("name2");
detailtype2.setValue("value2")
detailtypesList.add(detailtype2);
process.setOtherDetails(otherDetails);Just a note of caution here, don't make the payload too big or you might have performance issue.
