    Description

      While trying to create some content, an InvalidArgumentType exception is being raise, apparently, without proper reason.

      Steps to reproduce:
      • Create a class with a text line field
      • Create content, through REST api v2, using RESTClient (for instance). Use the following XML

      POST: http://ez2013-11.io-solinf.pt/api/ezp/v2/content/objects

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <ContentCreate>
        <ContentType href="/api/ezp/v2/content/types/40" />
        <mainLanguageCode>eng-GB</mainLanguageCode>
        <LocationCreate>
          <ParentLocation href="/api/ezp/v2/content/locations/1/2/111" />
          <priority>0</priority>
          <hidden>false</hidden>
          <sortField>PATH</sortField>
          <sortOrder>ASC</sortOrder>
        </LocationCreate>
        <Section href="/api/ezp/v2/content/sections/1" />
        <alwaysAvailable>true</alwaysAvailable>
        <User href="/api/ezp/v2/user/users/14" />
        <modificationDate>2012-09-30T12:30:00</modificationDate>
        <fields>
          <field>
            <fieldDefinitionIdentifier>title</fieldDefinitionIdentifier>
            <languageCode>eng-GB</languageCode>
            <fieldValue>1234</fieldValue>
          </field>
        </fields>
      </ContentCreate>
      

      The following error will be thrown

       <errorMessage>Not Acceptable</errorMessage>
      <errorDescription>Argument '$value-&gt;text' is invalid: expected value to be of type 'string', got 'integer'</errorDescription>
      

      Encapsulating all string fields in CDATA blocks seems overkill to me. Is there a simple way to format the XML so that 1234 is parsed (or accepted) as a valid string instead of as an integer?
