 Description   

It appears that the Message validation fails on a ClassCastException if the message contains the XmlDataLen tag.

Example:
https://gist.github.com/benoitx/e7da15dba9da133ac7b9

It seems that the validation code only expects StringField but the XmlDataLen is an IntField.

The output is:

test case.

Comment by Christoph John [ 14/Jul/14 ]

It turned out that the setField( int, Field<?> ) method should rather not be used with non-String tags. Rather use setField( Field ), e.g.:
ioi.getHeader().setField(new XmlData(xml));
ioi.getHeader().setField(new XmlDataLen(xml.length()));

Of course, there should be means to prevent your original error. Either setField( int, Field<?> ) should convert the values (as setField( Field ) does) or the validate-method should not assume that all fields are Strings.
