ClassCastException ApachePingbackClient

[Daniel Zoller]

We get a ClassCastException in ApachePingbackClient#sendPingback (Integer to String)

Please check why the RPC Client returns an Integer instead of a String.

"Servers MUST respond to this function call either with a single string or with a fault code." http://www.hixie.ch/specs/pingback/pingback#return

at the moment sendPingback() returns this:

return (String) client.execute("pingback.ping", params); 

I suggest not to cast the object but to convert it to a String:

return String.valueOf(client.execute("pingback.ping", params)); 

Any thoughts on this?

Sounds good!
