Jochen Wiedmann commented on XMLRPC-130:
----------------------------------------

I understand the issue, but I do not see a solution. For example, we could convert the double toa BigDecimal, but then, I am absolutely sure, that most people would not like to see

0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000010000000000000000076162237057823428575993091641927138989513847283709538948144790065143893595321174669124552225337349106179808916165796528474629667471162974834442138671875

instead of 1.0E-51. Do you have a suggestion?

> The double value of  (for example) ".000004" is serialized by XML-RPC as "4.0E-6".  Unfortunately, this does not comply with the XML-RPC spec (http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec) which says:
> "At this time, only decimal point notation is allowed, a plus or a minus, followed by any number of numeric characters, followed by a period and any number of numeric characters."
> So, Java's conversion to the exponential format is not allowed.
