Dear Sirs,

I am working on Orocos toolchain 2.3.2.
I am developing some test components using orogen.

I defined the following simple component

name 'viewer3d'
version '1.0'
import_types_from "viewer3d.h"

task_context "Viewer3d" do
# reading of initial values of properties is required
needs_configuration
# output ports
input_port("ActivatedBehaviour","int")
# properties
property("Obstacles","viewer/obstaclesPositions").
doc('sizes of obstacles in the work area')
end

deployment "visualizzatore" do
kifInterface = task("v1","Viewer3d").
realtime.
priority(50).
periodic(1.0).
start
end

In the file viewer3d.h I defined the following types:

class obstacleP
{
public:
double lenght_x;
double lenght_y;
double lenght_z;

obstacleP()
{

lenght_x=0.0;
lenght_y=0.0;
lenght_z=0.0;
}

};

class obstaclesPositions
{
public:
std::vector<obstacleP> obsPosition;

obstaclesPositions()
{

obstacleP oP;

oP.lenght_x=0.0;
oP.lenght_y=0.0;
oP.lenght_z=0.0;

obsPosition.push_back(oP);
}

};
}

I prepared the a cpf file containing a property of type obstaclesPositions with two elements of type obstacleP.
The cpf file is listed at the end.

I loaded marhalling service in deployer-xenomai, then I load an instance V1 of my component and
I ran the command V1.configure.
This action was successfull, but if I inspect the property I cant see both the element I have put in the cpf file.
Only the first one was read.
Can you help me to understand how can I have a property of vector type read with all the values store in the cpf file?

Thank you for your support.
