web3j智能合约错误：java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

web3j:智能合约写操作时总是抛出java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException错误，不知道什么问题。

我的代码如下：

String hexPrivateKey = String.format("%040x", new BigInteger(1, Config.privateKey.getBytes()));
String hexPublicKey = String.format("%040x", new BigInteger(1, Config.publicKey.getBytes()));
Credentials credentials = Credentials.create(hexPrivateKey, hexPublicKey);
DataSaver contract = DataSaver.load(
address, web3j, credentials, Contract.GAS_PRICE, Contract.GAS_LIMIT);

RemoteCall transaction2 = contract.updateDocumentPayload(
BigInteger.valueOf(1), "Test");
transaction2.send();

读取操作是成功的。写入返回以下错误：

问题的解决

应该是将错误的私钥传递给webb3j来签署交易时，会将引发该异常。请看下面的例子。

正确的工作代码（带有有效私钥）：

BigInteger privateKey = new BigInteger("f9c8a5d689736d881cf9b4117bbae6d935b2368f8260a25677e35d4d1eea7231", 16);
BigInteger publicKey = new BigInteger("72445fcfdeb1fff79496d7ce66089d663ff90e26", 16);
ECKeyPair pair = new ECKeyPair(privateKey, publicKey);
pair.sign("".getBytes());

相同的代码使用无效的私钥（随便添加一个数字比如a），就会抛出与你完全相同的异常：

BigInteger privateKey = new BigInteger("f9c8a5d689736d881cf9b4117bbae6d935b2368f8260a25677e35d4d1eea7231a", 16);
BigInteger publicKey = new BigInteger("72445fcfdeb1fff79496d7ce66089d663ff90e26a", 16);
ECKeyPair pair = new ECKeyPair(privateKey, publicKey);
pair.sign("".getBytes());

始终通过WalletUtils.isValidPrivateKey()和WalletUtils.isValidAddress()来检查私钥和地址是否有效。
