Description:
The C/J Fabric administration API provides a method to create a group, but it does not work. The following exception is thrown:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Boolean
        at com.mysql.fabric.Response.<init>(Response.java:37)
        at com.mysql.fabric.proto.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient.errorSafeCallMethod(XmlRpcClient.java:114)

        at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606)
        ... 12 more

How to repeat:
try to create a group through the admin API

Suggested fix:
handle response types correctly
