Update I.O. Helper to avoid compilation warnings

The helper classes for Integration Objects always shows 3 types of warnings:

1) in the method fixNullInputsForSOAP, add generic type parameters to avoid the following warning:
Class is a raw type. References to generic type Class<T> should be parameterized

2) On the class name: The serializable class <helper class> does not declare a static final serialVersionUID field of type long

3) within the fixNullInputsForSOAP, and fixNullOutputsForSOAP: The argument of type null should explicitly be cast to Object[] for the invocation of the varargs method invoke(Object, Object...) from type Method. It could alternatively be cast to Object for a varargs invocation
