Description

Actual:
When declaring array of objects (which have properties), model is not generated.
It will result in Object.h include missing for cpp-restbed-server and cpp-pistache-server

Expected:
model/ProblematicArrayType.h (and .cpp) are created

Research direction

Start by running the supplied OpenAPI declaration with both cpp-pistache-server and cpp-restbed-server, then inspect the generated output and build failure. The fix is complete when model/ProblematicArrayType.h and .cpp are generated for the array-of-objects schema and both generated projects build successfully with CMake and make.
