Comment:

 i don't know if it is related but we have similar issues with post IDs
 using the XML-RPC endpoint.
 The postID returned by metaWeblog.editPost, for example, is an int field


 {{{
 <methodResponse>
   <params>
     <param>
       <value>
         <struct>
 <member><name>dateCreated</name><value><dateTime.iso8601>20110203T23:32:58</dateTime.iso8601></value></member>
   <member><name>userid</name><value><string>1</string></value></member>
   <member><name>postid</name><value><int>2746722655</int></value></member>
   <member><name>description</name><value><string>.....
 }}}

 but in the case above the value exceeds the xml-rpc specs for the int type
 (four-byte signed integer - http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec)

 So, within the java app, we have issues because the XML-RPC parser tries
 to retrieve the value using an Integer (It has a minimum value of
 -2,147,483,648 and a maximum value of 2,147,483,647 (inclusive)).
