Error on PUT/POST array

Hi There!

I attached a patch: 2070213-fix-error-on-array.patch

Basically, if you are trying to populate a text field, and that field can have unlimited values (essentially, an Array), the code is attempting to manipulate that array. It is calling method getResourceReferenceValue, and that is where the code is failing.

Recoverable fatal error: Argument 2 passed to RestWSBaseFormat::getResourceReferenceValue() must be an array, string given, called in [drupal]/sites/all/modules/restws/restws.formats.inc on line 294 and defined in RestWSBaseFormat->getResourceReferenceValue() (line 334 of [drupal]/sites/all/modules/restws/restws.formats.inc).

Not only is running this code unnecessary, but calling getResourceReferenceValue throws an error:
$list_value = $this->getResourceReferenceValue($list_type, $list_value);

Cheers!

I had exactly same problem... Entity with field with multivalue text (plain_text).. This patch do the trick, no more errors with this patch and entity is saved with all given values.

I have the same problem. I had to add the patch manually but it still didn't work. This is a real issue for us.

Patch breaks intended architecture and results in compatibility issues in more complex structures.
It seams that code author has forgotten to implement simple text field array in getResourceReferenceValue it should be an easy fix for code author.

I applied a dirty fix for my particular case (line 275):

            else if(($list_type = entity_property_list_extract_type($info['type'])) !== "decimal"){
              foreach ($property_value as &$list_value) {
                $list_value = $this->getResourceReferenceValue($list_type, $list_value);
              }
            }

However this needs more broad scope approach that would encompass other common cases like text fields etc.

P.S. This of course effects not only PUT but also POST queries and before this issue is fixed none of multiple value text field based content is saved which is a major issue
