[Exist-open] XMLRPC API - bug in getDocumentAsString method ?

[<sp...@so...>]

Hi all !

Since I use the latest CVS snapshot (2004/06/15), I'm encountering problems
with the XML-RPC API as soon as I execute the
getDocumentAsString(User,String,int) method.
Each time I call this method I get the following exception:

16 juin 2004 15:46:24,578 [Thread-7] DEBUG (RpcServer.java
[handleException]:561) - String index out of range: -1

java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException

This behaviour has appeared since the snapshot 2004/04/26.

Any workaround or bug fix ?
