> Believe that this is quite severe bug unless I did something very wrong.
> When sending/rretrieving a Map over XMLRPC the datatype is not correct. I've only checked for the keys, but the error might exist for the values as well.
> Provided is a simple unit test to illustrate the bug. To reproduce run the unit tests in SerializationTest.
> It has two test methods:
>  
>  1) one that calls a static method and
>  2) and another that calls a method over XMLRPC which in turns call the same static method
> The latter fails with a ClassCastException. Instead of the key being the expected Integer it is a String.
> >From Console:
> [...]
> key: 21
> value: twentyone
> 21 -> 'twentyone'
> key: 1
> value: one
> 1 -> 'one'
> [...]
> key: 21
> >From Debug -> Variables (in Eclipse):
> entry HashMap$Entry<K,V>  (id=13) 
> key "21" 
> count 2 
> hash 1599 
> offset 0 
> value char[2]  (id=27) 
> value "twentyone" 
> count 9 
> hash 0 
> offset 0 
> value char[9]  (id=29) 
> As you can see 21 is a char[2] and not an integer as expected.
