You're correct that primitives themselves will not work, but they can
be autoboxed using their Object versions. My problem is with *arrays*
of primitive types, which *can* be used as parameters for for generic
classes, and should (according to everything I've found on the
subject) be serializable.
You're right that this will not compile:
new MySerializableObject<int>(1);
This will compile, however:
new MySerializableObject<int[]>(new int[]{1});
As will this (due to autoboxing):
new MySerializableObject<Integer>(1);
On the other hand, arrays cannot be autoboxed, so this will not
compile:
new MySerializableObject<Integer[]>(new int[]{1});
