Looks like a are sending a String and Roller is expecting you to send a "[B"
which mean a byte.
So, I bet the problem is in the line that starts with struct["bits"]. Are
you sure you need to use that Base64 call? Maybe you are supposed to set a
byte array there and let the XMLRPC library do the encoding?
