NetBeans MobilityPack 5 BUG?? how can I send a byte array?

Question

I�ve created a WebApp and a Simple servlet with one public method.
public byte[] getStr(byte[] b) {       
String s = "A string";
return s.getBytes();
Then I've used "Mobile To Web App" wizard to generate stubs to that getStr method. And when I�ve tried to call that getStr method:
byte[] aByte = "st".getBytes();
byte[] b = client.getStr(aByte);
I've got an error at Server in Utility.java in generated ReadArray method.
* Reads an array from the given data source and returns it.
*@param source The source from which the data is extracted.
*@return The array from the data source
*@exception IOException If an error occured while reading the data.
public static Object readArray(DataInput in) throws IOException {
short type = in.readShort();
int length = in.readInt();
if (length == -1) {
return null;
} else {
switch (type) {
case BYTE_TYPE: {
byte[] data = new byte[length];
in.readFully(data);
return data;
default: {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unsupported return type (" + type + ")");
At this line "in.readFully(data);" I�ve got an EOFException.
The the aByte = "st".getBytes(); was 2bytes long and at the server "int length = in.readInt();" it was 363273. Why?
All code was generated by NetBeans Mobility pack 5 it's not mine so its a bug?
How can I fix this?

There's a solution how to fix the generated code.
