Env: XP PRO, JScript, SOAP, WSDL, XML

I have to query the status of two devices (SEP0017593F52C4, SEP0007EB9F1118) using a SOAP RPC. The device list is suppose to be coded in a SOAP string array item.
Here is the WSDL:

CODE
The WSDL def for the select items array:
- <complexType name="CmSelectionCriteria">
- <sequence>
<element name="MaxReturnedDevices" nillable="true" type="xsd:unsignedInt" />
<element name="Class" nillable="true" type="xsd:string" />
<element name="Model" nillable="true" type="xsd:unsignedInt" />
<element name="Status" type="xsd:string" />
<element name="NodeName" nillable="true" type="xsd:string" />
<element name="SelectBy" type="xsd:string" />
<element name="SelectItems" nillable="true" type="tns:SelectItems" />
</sequence>
</complexType>

- <complexType name="SelectItem">
- <sequence>
<element name="Item" type="xsd:string" />
</sequence>
</complexType>

- <complexType name="SelectItems">
- <complexContent>
- <restriction base="soapenc:Array">
<attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType" wsdl:arrayType="tns:SelectItem[]" />
</restriction>
</complexContent>
</complexType>


The example I was told to use is:

I have some confusion so here are a couple of questions:
1) The above example worked but I noticed I have 2 items and SelectItems had "tns:SelectItem[1]". What does this "[1]" specify in this case.
I was thinking it limits the number of items you are transmitting but that can't be the case because the RPC processed the 2 devices correctly.
So what is that[1]?
2) Is there a shorter way to code this rather than all this code for each item inthe SOAP array?
<SelectItems soapenc:arrayType="tns:SelectItem[1]" xsi:type="soapenc:Array">

</item> <item xsi:type="tns:SelectItem">

</SelectItems>

I tried this way but it only processes the last item in the list: SEP0007EB9F1118

I thought there was some way to do this but I cannot find it within the program or the help files.

If there is a way to these please let me know. If not, could you suggest another program that has this functionality?

I'm looking for something like XML Spy (http://www.altova.com/images/shots/x...ema_editor.gif) which is free. If nothing free comes to mind other suggestions are welcome.
