Taking advice from *Ken Zangelin (Telefónica I+D)*

* I have created issue: [ https://github.com/telefonicaid/fiware-orion/issues/3162]
* I have branched fiware/orion: [https://github.com/jason-fox/fiware-orion/tree/feature/3162-func-test]
* I have attempted to create a functional test : [https://github.com/jason-fox/fiwre-orion/blob/feature/3162-func-test/test/functionalTest/cases/3162_context_providers_legacy_non_primitive/query_for_arrays.test]
  + I have no idea if it will run (since I didn’t find out how to invoke the tests)
  + The test is expected to fail on points 06, 08 and 09 since arrays aren’t being returned.
* I have created a pull request: [https://github.com/telefonicaid/fiware-orion/pull/3163]

> +Question:+
> Non-Primitive Values from a Registered Content Provider are not showing a value
> +Description:+
> I'm using the /v2/registrations endpoint to register a content provider with the legacyForwarding flag being set. Therefore my Content Provider is offering the v1/queryContext endpoint
> When I am returning a simple value (Integer, String etc.) such as a temperature the data is added to the context correctly:
> {
>     "contextResponses": [
>         {
>             "contextElement": {
>                 "attributes": [
>                     {
>                         "name": "temperature",
>                         "type": "Number",
>                         "value": 27
>                     }
>                 ],
>                 "id": "urn:ngsi-ld:Store:001",
>                 "isPattern": "false",
>                 "type": "Store"
>             },
>             "statusCode": {
>                 "code": "200",
>                 "reasonPhrase": "OK"
>             }
>         }
>     ]
> }
> However when trying to return an array of strings as shown from a Context Provider.
> {
>     "contextResponses": [
>         {
>             "contextElement": {
>                 "attributes": [
>                     {
>                         "name": "tweets",
>                         "type": "Array",
>                         "value": [
>                             "String 1",
>                             "String 2"
>                         ]
>                     }
>                 ],
>                 "id": "urn:ngsi-ld:Store:002",
>                 "isPattern": "false",
>                 "type": "Store"
>             },
>             "statusCode": {
>                 "code": "200",
>                 "reasonPhrase": "OK"
>             }
>         }
>     ]
> }
> I can see the request being sent in the log and I can retrieve the following entity:
> {
>     "id": "urn:ngsi-ld:Store:002",
>     "type": "Store",
>     "address": {
>         "type": "PostalAddress",
>         "value": "",
>         "metadata": {}
>     },
>     "location": {
>         "type": "geo:json",
>         "value": "",
>         "metadata": {}
>     },
>     "name": {
>         "type": "Text",
>         "value": "Checkpoint Markt",
>         "metadata": {}
>     },
>     "tweets": {
>         "type": "Array",
>         "value": "",
>         "metadata": {}
>     }
> }
> As you can see the "tweets" value is blank, but the attribute  exists and the type has been successfully received. 
> My question is how should I return an Array or an Object as a value from a Content Provider so that Orion is able to display the data received correctly?
