Can not create new Customer

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using latest code of magja. and want to create new customer using it.
I'm able to get list of customers, products etc. But can't create new customer. 
It shows me this error.

=============Create New User=====================

password_hash=098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6, group_id=1, gender=1, 
lastname=lalastName, firstname=NewFirst, website_id=1}]

Error :

Hey.

We have been recently struggled with the same issue like yours.

The problem probably is a version mismatch between the Magja and the used 
Magento version. This assumption is based on that Magento 1.7 requires a 
different request then the API provides.

Please see this example:

 - Magja builds request:

    [_syncFieldsMap:protected] => Array
        (
        )

)
=============/Create New User=====================

 - Please note that the difference between the two requests is that some portion of the request (the entity itself) structured differently.

The solution is to modify the "serializeToApi" methods to your needs. For 
instance simply return with the Map<String, Object> rather then the 
List<Object>.

Hope it helps to anybody.
