XML-RPC Search appears to be broken.

Using the ConfluenceLinker custom field within the JIRA development kit, the attempt to search Confluence results in a ClassCastExcpetion. This worked on 'ShipIt II' day!

The exception:

The search code is as follows:

XmlRpcClient rpcClient = new XmlRpcClient("http://confluence.atlassian.com/rpc/xmlrpc");
List xmlrpcResults = (List) rpcClient.execute("confluence1.search", makeParams("stuff", 100));

...

private Vector makeParams(String query, int maxResults)

{ Vector params = new Vector(); params.add(""); // no authentication token params.add(query); // the query itself params.add(new Integer(maxResults)); // maximum # of results return params; }

Probably best to run from JIRA dev kti to reproduce.
