Problem with posting share

Hi!

I have been using linkedin-j lib for publishing message from our application 
for last 6 months without any problem. Suddenly i started getting the following 
exception while posting a shared message.

com.google.code.linkedinapi.client.LinkedInApiClientException: Internal API 
server error

my code is as follows

LinkedInApiClientFactory factory = 
LinkedInApiClientFactory.newInstance(companyFeedSettingsWS.getConsumerKey(),comp
anyFeedSettingsWS.getConsumerSecret());
        LinkedInApiClient client = factory.createLinkedInApiClient(companyFeedSettingsWS.getToken(),companyFeedSettingsWS.getTokenSecret());

client.postShare(messageBody, "", "", null, VisibilityType.ANYONE);

Please let me know if i need to change some thing with the code

This is a problem with how an empty <content> element is interpreted by 
LinkedIn. It's a bug in their system, but since they've been unwilling to 
address it, it's probably easier to deal with in the client code.

This produces an error:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<share>
<content/>
<visibility>
<code>anyone</code></visibility>
<comment>My Comment</comment>
</share>

This does not:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<share>
<visibility>
<code>anyone</code></visibility>
<comment>My Comment</comment>
</share>
